Where Our Saginaw Facts Come From
Short answer: Every Saginaw crash number on this site comes from our analysis of TxDOT CRIS records, except the signal-delay ranking, which comes from INRIX. Medical and insurance statements come from the studies below.
Saginaw crash data
Original analysis of TxDOT CRIS data, 2021–2025, Saginaw and the area within 15 miles of the city limits. We report three levels: Saginaw and the area within 15 miles of its city limits, roads within 5 miles of the city, and Saginaw city limits alone. Open the Saginaw analysis. The INRIX signal-delay finding for Bailey Boswell Rd at Saginaw Blvd is reported by Land Line; it measures waiting time, not crashes.
