Oakland crash data · Our analysis

International Blvd logged about a third fewer injury crashes in the year after its quick-build. The rest of Oakland held steady.

From 14th Avenue to 107th Avenue, police reported 127 injury or fatal crashes in 2025, against an average of 199 a year in 2021–2023. Over the same years the rest of Oakland’s city streets went from 1,342 to 1,327 a year.

Key findings

  1. In 2025, police reported 127 injury or fatal crashes on International Blvd between 14th and 107th Avenue, 36% fewer than the average of 199 a year in 2021–2023, the three full years before construction began in July 2024. Table 1[1][5]
  2. On every other city street in Oakland, the count went from 1,342 a year to 1,327, a change of −1%. Table 1[1]
  3. Counted by month, the corridor averaged 16.0 injury crashes a month in the 42 months before construction and 10.9 a month in the 14 months after it was finished (−32%); the rest of Oakland went from 110.4 to 110.6. Table 2[1][6]
  4. Crashes involving a pedestrian on the corridor went from an average of 38 a year in 2021–2023 to 20 in 2025. Crashes that killed or seriously injured someone were too few to compare: 19 a year before, 15 in 2025. Table 1[1]
  5. Two of the 16 next-busiest streets, Telegraph Ave and Seminary Ave, fell by a similar or larger share between 2021–2023 and 2025 than International Blvd did, each counted along its whole length (International Blvd: −30% that way), on much smaller counts. Table 4[1]

What this data can’t tell you

  • Why the count fell. The quick-build is one change among several on and around the corridor: traffic volumes, enforcement and other street work also changed over these years, and the state records hold none of that.
  • Whether the drop will last. 2025 is one year, and it is provisional: late reports can still be added. 2026 so far looks similar (8.9% of Oakland’s injury crashes, against 8.7% in 2025 and 12.9% in 2021–2023), but 2026 reports are far from complete. A speed camera on International Blvd between 40th and 41st Avenue began ticketing in March 2026.
  • Exactly when it started. The first quarter of 2024, before any construction, was already lower than any quarter of 2021–2023 (28 crashes, against 36 to 61; Table 3).
  • Rates. These are counts. The state records have no traffic volumes, so we cannot say whether fewer people drove the corridor.
  • Deaths. Fatal crashes on the corridor are too few for a before-and-after comparison (fewer than five in every year from 2021 to 2025 except 2023, in these records). For deaths, use the City’s tracker.[7]
  • Crashes nobody reported to police are not in these records.

Methods

  • Corridor. Crashes whose report names International Blvd (or its old name, East 14th Street) and a cross street that meets International Blvd between 14th Avenue and 107th Avenue, the quick-build’s limits, at any distance from that cross street.[1][2][4]
  • Dates. AC Transit announced the project on April 10, 2024, scheduled the first work for July 22, 2024, and says construction was complete as of October 2024.[4][5][6] AC Transit service alerts in March 2025 still listed project work at stations between 67th and 73rd Avenue. We compare 2021–2023 with 2025, and, as a check, January 2021–June 2024 with November 2024–December 2025 by month. July–October 2024 is left out.
  • Control. Every other injury or fatal crash on Oakland’s city streets over the same years. Freeway crashes are left out of both.
  • Chance. Relative to the rest of Oakland, the corridor’s 2025 count was 0.64 times what its 2021–2023 average would predict (95% interval 0.53 to 0.79, treating counts as Poisson). The interval covers chance variation only, not other differences between streets.
  • A check on the data. If reports had started naming the street differently, those crashes could not be placed and the count would drop for that reason alone. Every year from 2021 to 2025, at least 98.5% of crash reports naming International Blvd or East 14th Street were placed at a cross street, and those reports also fell, from 540 in 2023 to 355 in 2025 (all severities).
  • Peer streets. The 16 streets with the most injury crashes in 2021–2023 after International Blvd, chosen by that rule so no street is hand-picked. Each is counted along its whole length in Oakland, and so is International Blvd in that table.
