1. MassDOT Crash Portal Web Site:

This site presents multiple ways to obtain crash data. I, myself, have only begun to analyze the wealth of data available. I have downloaded the three most recent years for Lexington crashes.

On the 2012 data I have made some initial sorts in the “rlc sort” tab as a step in looking at one dimension – ped – bike crashes. As a first cut, it appears that about 22 % of all crash injuries that occurred in Lexington outside of the Route 2 and Route 128 corridor were to pedestrians and bicyclists. I am sure that a more thoughtful and complete analysis, using the tools on the Portal would yield a more complete picture of crash status within Lexington.
