Abstract: The project is focused on exploring fatalities occurred in New York City (NYC) among 3 major groups involved in traffic accidents between 2009 and 2016: pedestrians, bicyclists, and motor vehicle occupants (MVO). The project’s results show that overall trend in fatalities is declining, while trend analysis for each group shows that fatalities among bicyclists is increasing. Also, further analysis revealed that the highest number of fatalities that occurred: for pedestrians in lower east side downtown Manhattan, zip code 10002; for bicyclists in east Harlem uptown Manhattan zip code 10029; for MVO in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, zip code 11203.
