US Transportation & Traffic Data Search
Search 21 US transportation data sources in one query — crash reports, traffic and transit data, infrastructure datasets, and registration or licensing records.
- ✅ Search 21 US transportation data sources across vehicle safety, traffic and transit, infrastructure, and registration datasets
- ✅ Get crash and collision records, MTA ridership, AADT counts, highway funding, road mileage, licensed-driver data, vehicle registrations, and EV registration records in one workflow
- ✅ Covers 4 vehicle-safety sources, 6 traffic and transit sources, 5 infrastructure sources, and 6 registration sources
- ✅ Export results as Excel, CSV, or JSON, or connect it to Apify MCP, API, Make, n8n, and Zapier
- ✅ Current Apify listing is pay per usage, so you can start with small runs and scale only when the workflow proves useful
Transportation data in the US is spread across city portals, transit agencies, DOT systems, DMV datasets, and federal infrastructure sources. Crash data sits in one place, ridership in another, registrations in another, and infrastructure funding elsewhere again. This Actor combines those public datasets into one search layer so you can run one query across the transportation records that matter for your workflow, then export or automate the results.
What you can do with it
1. Search crash, collision, and inspection records
The vehicle-safety side of this Actor includes Chicago crashes, Chicago crash vehicles, NYC collisions, and New Jersey inspection data. That means you can search locations, streets, boroughs, corridors, vehicle terms, or inspection-related terms across several public safety datasets at once.
This is useful when you want one search layer for transportation safety signals rather than separate portal-by-portal lookups.
What you enter:
| What | Example |
|---|---|
| Search term | Brooklyn, Atlantic Avenue, Chicago, or inspection |
| Categories | Vehicle safety only |
| How many results | 50 per source |
What you get back:
| Source | Example fields |
|---|---|
| Chicago crashes and crash vehicles | Crash date, location, vehicle, crash or severity metadata |
| NYC collisions | Borough, street, injuries, fatalities, contributing factors |
| NJ inspections | Vehicle or inspection-related status and record metadata |
This is useful for crash analysis, safety research, insurance context, fleet review, and AI assistants that need one transportation-safety search layer across multiple public datasets.
2. Search traffic volumes, transit ridership, tolls, and ticket data
The traffic and transit side of this Actor includes NY AADT, MTA bridge and tunnel data, MTA subway ridership, E-ZPass data, and New York ticket-related datasets. That gives you a useful public-data slice for movement, ridership, and traffic-volume research.
This is not just one transit feed. It is a mixed traffic and transit discovery layer.
What you enter:
| What | Example |
|---|---|
| Search term | Grand Central, Times Square, I-95, or George Washington Bridge |
| Categories | Traffic and transit only |
| How many results | 50 per source |
What you get back:
| Source | Example fields |
|---|---|
| MTA subway and bridge/tunnel data | Station or crossing name, ridership or traffic volume, date |
| NY AADT / E-ZPass / ticket datasets | Corridor, usage, traffic, ticket, or conviction metadata |
This is useful for urban research, site analysis, transit monitoring, traffic studies, and operational workflows that need one search layer across publicly available traffic and transit records.
3. Search highway funding, fuel tax, mileage, and transit infrastructure data
The infrastructure side of this Actor includes fuel-tax records, highway funding, HPMS county data, road mileage, and transit urbanized-area statistics. That gives you a public-data entry point for transport infrastructure and finance context.
This is useful when your workflow is about network scale, funding, road condition context, or transit-system metrics rather than just crashes or ridership.
What you enter:
| What | Example |
|---|---|
| Search term | New York, California, interstate, or county |
| Categories | Infrastructure only |
| How many results | 50 per source |
What you get back:
| Source | Example fields |
|---|---|
| FHWA and HPMS datasets | Funding, fuel-tax, mileage, road-network, or county-level metadata |
| Transit UZA data | Urbanized-area transit statistics and reporting context |
This is useful for infrastructure analysis, public-sector research, transportation consulting, network planning, and workflows that need road and transit context from public US datasets.
4. Search registration, licensing, DMV, and EV adoption datasets
The registration side of this Actor includes licensed drivers, New York driver-license data, DMV facilities, vehicle registrations, Washington EV registrations, and New York highway mileage. That means you can search public registration and licensing records alongside the rest of the transportation stack.
This is especially useful when you care about fleet, driver, DMV, or EV-adoption context rather than only traffic incidents.
What you enter:
| What | Example |
|---|---|
| Search term | Tesla, electric, Albany, or driver license |
| Categories | Registrations only |
| How many results | 50 per source |
What you get back:
| Source | Example fields |
|---|---|
| Driver and vehicle registration datasets | Registration or license counts, make/model context, DMV-related metadata |
| EV and DMV facilities datasets | EV registration records, office locations, or related operational fields |
This is useful for EV market monitoring, fleet research, DMV support workflows, transportation policy analysis, and AI assistants that need one search layer across public registration datasets.
5. Use one Actor for mixed transportation discovery in AI and automation workflows
The main advantage of this Actor is that you can search transportation data across several public source families without integrating each city, state, and federal dataset separately.
Instead of wiring crash, transit, infrastructure, registration, and EV datasets into your workflow one by one, you can use one Actor as the discovery layer.
What you enter:
| What | Example |
|---|---|
| Search term | Brooklyn |
| Categories | Vehicle safety + traffic and transit |
| How many results | 25 per source |
What your assistant or automation gets back:
| Source family | Returned data |
|---|---|
| Vehicle safety | Crash, collision, and inspection records |
| Traffic and transit | Ridership, traffic volume, toll, and ticket records |
| Infrastructure | Funding, mileage, or network records if enabled |
| Registrations | Driver, vehicle, DMV, and EV records if enabled |
This is useful for internal transportation assistants, route or location research, public-data automation, planning workflows, and spreadsheet-based analysis that needs one transportation-data entry point.
How to use (no code required)
- Click "Try for Free" at the top of this page
- Type one or more search terms — locations, routes, stations, vehicle terms, bridges, corridors, or registration-related keywords
- Choose which categories to search:
- vehicle safety
- traffic and transit
- infrastructure
- registrations
- Set how many results you want per source
- Click Start — the Actor queries the enabled transportation data sources and returns the results in the Dataset tab
You can then export the results as Excel, CSV, or JSON.
Because the Actor is listed as pay per usage, it is easy to begin with a small exploratory run, see which source families matter for your workflow, and then scale from there.
What you get back
Each result comes back as one dataset row. The exact columns vary by source family, because a collision record, a subway ridership row, a highway-funding record, and an EV registration record do not share the same schema.
Across the dataset, you will typically see:
nametypestatuscountryauthority_product_id_source_search_term_collected_at
Then source-specific fields such as:
- Vehicle safety: crash, collision, inspection, injury, fatality, or vehicle fields
- Traffic and transit: station, crossing, traffic volume, ridership, toll, or ticket fields
- Infrastructure: funding, mileage, HPMS, fuel-tax, or transit-statistics fields
- Registrations: driver, license, registration, DMV-facility, or EV-related fields
Every row tells you which source it came from and which search term matched, so it is easy to split outputs by source family and move them into downstream analysis or automation workflows.
Coverage
This Actor currently searches 21 active US transportation data sources:
| Category | Count | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle safety | 4 | Chicago crashes and crash vehicles, NYC collisions, NJ inspections |
| Traffic and transit | 6 | NY AADT, MTA bridge/tunnel, MTA subway, E-ZPass, and NY ticket datasets |
| Infrastructure | 5 | Fuel tax, highway funding, HPMS county data, road mileage, transit UZA |
| Registrations | 6 | Licensed drivers, NY driver and vehicle records, DMV facilities, WA EV registrations, NY highway mileage |
The current active maps in the Actor are:
4 vehicle-safety sources6 traffic and transit sources5 infrastructure sources6 registration sources
That matters because this Actor is not one unified transportation database. It is a combined public-data discovery layer across crash, transit, infrastructure, and registration source families.
