You can access mapped crash data for the study period of 2012-2018 from Oregon Department of Transportation Crash Analysis on the city's interactive mapping tool or Oregon Transportation Safety Data Explorer. The data is under the Transportation layer. You can view crash data for the entire Deschutes County. Please contact Tyler Deke if you have any questions with the process or the data.
