Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety On average, 265 bicycle and 600 pedestrian crashes are reported to the Metropolitan Police Department each year in the District of Columbia. The District government is committed to improving bicycle and pedestrian safety while simultaneously increasing the amount of bicycling and walking. Bicycle Crash Summary* Pedestrian Crash Summary* For full reports on bicycle and pedestrian collisions from 1997-1999 and 2000-2002, see below. To improve bicycle and pedestrian safety in the District, DDOT participates in Street Smart*. DDOT has also launched Biking for Kids, pedestrian and bicycle safety classes in DC elementary schools. For a current list of classes please see the Program Calender. Two District Department of Transportation (DDOT) reports each examine three years of collisions involving bicycles and/or pedestrians in the District, based on police reports. The studies identify high-crash intersections and break down the three-year sample of crashes by age, time, ward and other factors. DDOT will use the reports to improve bicycle and pedestrian safety through engineering, enforcement and education. If you have comments or questions on the report, please send an email to DDOT.
