TIMS

Data on this page is updated daily and can be used to monitor the frequency and type of crashes that occur in weekly basis for recent years. The page was originially developed to track the trend of weekly crashes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Note:

Provisional crash data in this page is based on police reports of crashes that occurred on state highways. Crashes are added to the California Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) by the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and we download them from the I-SWITRS website on a daily basis. There is a delay related to submitting, processing, and tabulating crash data into SWITRS. Due to this lag, the data shown on this page may exclude some relevant crashes, particularly those occurring in the most recent two to three weeks. Crash counts for all weeks are revised as new and updated crash data are received. These data do not currently include crashes that occurred on non-state roads.
