High-Injury Network Map

PSRC is collaborating with local communities to create a Regional Safety Action Plan (RSAP). The plan will include coordinated strategies and solutions grounded in comprehensive data analysis, deep public engagement, and effective use of available funding sources.

The High-Injury Network (HIN) represented on this map shows the corridors with the highest concentration of traffic-related serious injuries and fatalities in the central Puget Sound region from 2016 to 2023. The map overlays with the census tracts with over 50% People of Color, over 50% Low-Income households, and the overlap between the two better understand equity’s role in safety in the region.

Description

This page displays a map of priority safety corridors, which are areas with a high density of fatalities and serious injuries. A corridor is considered high-priority if it experiences more than two fatalities or serious injuries per mile on surface streets, or more than three per mile on limited-access highways during the study period. These thresholds differ for surface streets and limited-access highways due to differences in roadway type and traffic volume. The identified corridors are continuous segments of the road network, excluding shorter sections (less than half a mile for surface streets and less than a mile for limited-access highways). These priority corridors are highlighted in red on the map.

Description of Terms
  • Total KSI – Serious injuries and fatalities on High Injury Network corridor
  • KSIpM – KSI per mile
