ODPS Crash Information

Request Crash Information

There are four basic formats in which we can provide data, three of which are explained in Reference Materials. There, you will find the definitions of each format, as well as the documentation that explains how to read it.

The fourth format is a new Crash Statistics System (CSS) our users can access to view available crash reports and obtain statistical reports, statewide or by county, such as those found in our Annual Crash Facts Books. Paramaterized, or customized, reports are also available using the CSS.

To request crash data, please e-mail us at: crashdata@dps.state.oh.us with the following information:
