The Safety Story: 2015–2019 vs 2021–2025
Equal 5-year periods · 2020 excluded · Stats normalized for fair comparisonCatastrophic Post-COVID KSI Surge
+52.1%
KSI rate surged from 11.61% to 17.66% — a 52.1% increase. One of the highest post-COVID surges in Contra Costa County. Urgent systemic intervention required.
Speed: #1 Cause of Crashes & KSI
13.0% → 22.7%
Unsafe Speed is the #1 PCF in Pittsburg with 328 crashes. Speed KSI rate: 13.0% (era A) → 22.7% (era B). Physical calming, feedback signs, and road diet evaluation are the priority responses.
RAILROAD AV: Persistent Hotspot
20 → 0 KSI
RAILROAD AV is the #1 HIN corridor with 20 total KSI (4 fatal). Remains city's highest-risk corridor.
HIN: Danger Spreading
21 new corridors
21 new corridors emerged in 2021–25 not present in 2015–19. 11 corridors persist across both eras. Systemic citywide programs needed alongside targeted corridors.
Alcohol: Persistent Risk
21.7% → 26.4%
Alcohol KSI rate rose from 21.7% to 26.4%. At 26.4%, alcohol crashes remain 1.9× more deadly than non-alcohol. DUI enforcement must intensify.
Pedestrian KSI Rate Elevated
36.5% → 34.3%
Pedestrian KSI rate: 34.3% era B. 44.0% of ped crashes in dark conditions — LED lighting and RRFB crossings are the priority response.
Dark KSI Surging
22.7% → 22.8%
Dark-condition KSI rate surged: 22.7% → 22.8%. 448 dark crashes, 102 KSI. LED intersection lighting and retroreflective backplates deliver the highest BCR return.
Volume vs Severity
155/yr → 111/yr
Crash volume: 155/yr (era A) → 111/yr (era B). Volume fell but KSI rate surged — severity crisis, not a volume crisis.
Top Intersection: EAST LELAND RD & LOVERIDGE RD
2 KSI
EAST LELAND RD & LOVERIDGE RD — 2 KSI (0 fatal), 8 crashes. Era A: 1 KSI → Era B: 1 KSI. Targeted intersection capital recommended.
