Motorcycle Crash Summary

Summary
At the Idaho Transporta on Department (ITD) our Strategic Plan is “Your Safety, Your Mobility, Your Economic Opportunity.”
ITD is commi ed to providing the safest transporta on system possible. Each year progress is made to eliminate death and seri‐
ous injuries (SI) on Idaho’s highways. Traffic safety professionals have addressed behaviors, infrastructure improvements and
enforcement countermeasures to reduce crashes. The goal, “Toward Zero Deaths”, is the founda on upon which we work.

All data and tables are 5 years of data, (2013‐2017) except for the Fatali es and Serious Injuries graphs which are 10 years of
data (2008‐2017). The source of the crash informa on is the ITD statewide crash database which consists of crash reports com‐
pleted by all law enforcement agencies in Idaho.
