Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI) has launched a new Manitoba Collision Dashboard, providing an
easier way to access up-to-date collision data.

Available through MPI’s website, the new dashboard increases transparency around collision data
by providing at-a-glance access to key road safety information, including the number of fatalities
and injuries reported on Manitoba’s roadways. Users can view, filter and explore collision
statistics through interactive dashboard views, offering a more accessible and timelier alternative
to the previous report format.

“MPI’s commitment to making our roads safer is a core part of our mandate, and timely access to
data is essential to understanding the facts about collisions and their contributing factors across
the province,” says Maria Campos, Vice President & Chief Customer and Product Officer. “By
making this information easier to access, we hope to raise awareness of trends as they emerge and
better support our partners in reducing dangerous driving behaviours.”

The new dashboard replaces the Traffic Collision Statistics Report (TCSR), which was previously
updated on an annual basis. The dashboard will be updated monthly, using data from law
enforcement agencies and MPI’s claims team, ensuring more current and relevant information is
available. Previous years’ TCSRs will remain available on MPI’s website.

“Providing reliable, up-to-date collision data in this new way will help build greater understanding
of current road safety issues, support the media in accessing statistics and better assist MPI’s
partners in developing prevention and enforcement initiatives across the province,” says Campos.
All data is analyzed before being added to the dashboard, and all personally identifiable
information is removed to ensure accuracy and responsible use.

The Manitoba Collision Dashboard is available 24/7 at mpi.mb.ca/manitoba-collision-dashboard.
