Find Philadelphia\u2019s crash-report request process, distinguish a city report from a Pennsylvania State Police report, and review local street-safety information. The correct starting point depends on the investigating agency and the kind of record you need.<\/p>

LOCAL ROAD SAFETY CONTEXT<\/p>

Philadelphia\u2019s High Injury Network guides safety work<\/h2>

In its November 25, 2025 announcement of the Vision Zero Action Plan 2030, the city described a High Injury Network covering 12% of Philadelphia streets and accounting for 80% of traffic deaths and serious injuries. These figures describe the plan\u2019s historical network analysis, not today\u2019s crashes or the chance of a crash on your next trip.<\/p>

Check the underlying map\u2019s study period before comparing a corridor with another neighborhood. The city\u2019s announcement also distinguishes the updated network from the previous version based on 2014\u20132018 data.<\/p>

Request a city crash report through the Department of Records<\/h2>

Philadelphia\u2019s official public-safety-report instructions offer online requests for crash reports and fire incident reports. Start on that city page and follow its link to the request application. Check the application\u2019s eligibility requirements before providing personal information or payment.<\/p>

The same instructions describe in-person and mail requests through the Public Safety Records Unit at City Hall. The city lists a two-to-three-week processing estimate for crash reports in that workflow; it is an estimate, not a guaranteed delivery date or a promise about online requests.<\/p>

A crash report is different from an EMS or incident report<\/h2>

The city lists police incident\/offense reports and emergency medical services records separately from crash reports. Its guidance directs those other report requests to mail or in-person channels. If you need several record types, identify each one instead of assuming a crash-report purchase includes them all.<\/p>

For a Pennsylvania State Police investigation, use the PSP route in our Pennsylvania guide<\/a>. A collision on a regional bridge or outside the city may involve a different agency; check the officer\u2019s paperwork before choosing a request service.<\/p>

Current traffic sources: Philadelphia<\/summary>

511PA offers a traffic map and a Possible Travel Delays list. Check the roadway, county, direction, event description, and last-updated time. Roadwork and other restrictions may appear alongside crashes; a listing does not determine fault or confirm every injury.<\/p>

These links open external traffic services. An automated Philadelphia feed is not connected to Accident Advisory. Check each source\u2019s update time; a missing alert does not mean that a road is clear. Do not use traffic maps while driving.<\/p><\/details>
