Hi Ed,
Here is one source I know of in Boston - they use ambulance run data. It's not 100%
accurate, but one of the few crash maps I've seen not based on police records.

I'm sure there is a lot more out there though,
Jesse

Subject: [H+T--Friends] A Data Question
It was nice to see everyone at TRB. While there I was in a discussion about the probably
that bike crashes that result in injuries might be under represented in our crash data.
Especially when you consider that a high percentage of the crashes do not involve a motor
vehicle and never make it to police records. If i were trying to get a handle on this at a
regional or state level are there any "non-traditional" sources of data like
hospital records that can be used. Anyone doing any work in this area? This is becoming
ever so important as we see more and mode shifting going on.
