San Antonio is getting serious about safety. On December 4, the city’s transportation department launched its new High-Injury Network Dashboard, an interactive online tool that helps protect locals by showing them where severe and fatal crashes happen, and who those crashes most affect.

The dashboard focuses on San Antonio’s High-Injury Network, which city officials describe as a small percentage of streets where a disproportionate share of serious injuries and deaths take place. Users can easily look up dangerous corridors by Council District, neighborhood, or along frequently traveled routes, making it easier to understand local safety concerns and spot patterns — and possibly develop a new phobia about traveling on Culebra Road

The maps are also visualize the headlines. San Antonio is frequently mentioned in reports decrying aggressive driving and some of the city's highways are mainstays on nationwide lists of the most dangerous roads. While some of the busier thoroughfares may be un avoidable, the dashboard does give locals a reminder to stay vigilant .

“As we continue our work to build safer streets, this dashboard offers residents an unprecedented level of visibility into where the most serious crashes occur,” says Transportation Director Catherine “Cat” Hernandez, in a release. “It also gives us another way to support and amplify our ‘Keep Crossings SAfe’ campaign by showing why reducing dangerous behaviors at crosswalks and intersections is so critical.”

As Hernandez mentions, the launch ties directly into the “Keep Crossings SAfe” campaign launched in November. The project hopes to create greater awareness of safer behavior at crosswalks and intersections, where many of the most serious accidents occur. City officials say the dashboard adds essential context to the messaging by plainly showing how risky some crossings can be.

The city says the goal is transparency and community engagement, making safety data easier to understand so residents and city staff can have more informed conversations. The dashboard also aligns with San Antonio’s Vision Zero work to eliminate traffic fatalities, reinforcing a commitment to eliminating traffic deaths and serious injuries through data-driven strategies.

“This tool goes hand in hand with our safety campaign outreach,” said Hernandez. “By making crash data easy to understand, we’re helping residents see firsthand why efforts like ‘Keep Crossings SAfe’ matter, and how small behavior changes can save lives in San Antonio.”
