When New York City adopted Vision Zero ten years ago, the move followed a year of drivers killing 299 people on city streets.

Last year, traffic killed at least 241 people. And while we know where and when crashes are happening, some information on WHO is getting hurt or killed can be hard to get.

Philip Miatskowski is Senior Director of Research and Policy at the advocacy and research organization Transportation Alternatives. He joined WNYC's Morning Edition host Michael Hill to talk about why those details can be hard to uncover.

A spokesperson with the Department of Transportation said it can "take time to collect and analyze accurate public health data" on fatalities, but preliminary data show the breakdown of traffic fatalities by race is close to the demographic breakdown of the city as a whole.
