In 2025, the state of Iowa recorded the lowest number of traffic fatalities (250) in a century. Within our MPO area, that number was ZERO. Additionally, there was a 29% reduction in suspected serious injury crashes in our area.
This data considers all modes of transportation, including bicycles and pedestrians, and includes segments of I-80, I-380, and US Highway 218 that pass through MPO communities.
MPOJC is working with its member communities (Iowa City, Coralville, North Liberty, Tiffin, and University Heights) on a comprehensive safety action plan focused on reducing or eliminating serious injury and fatal crashes on local roads.
In the coming months, we will report additional crash data and provide information on behaviors, countermeasures, and other actions that can help make our roads safe for all users.
Drive safe in 2026!
