According to the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) Crash Rankings, Ventura County recorded 5,130 total victims killed or injured in traffic collisions in 2023, placing it 25th out of California’s 58 counties (where a lower ranking indicates a higher safety risk relative to population). Specific problem areas identified by the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) include alcohol-related collisions, which resulted in 626 casualties, and a notable safety concern regarding young drivers; the county ranked 17th for crashes involving “had been drinking” drivers both under age 21 and between ages 21–34. While overall statewide traffic fatalities in California saw a decrease of approximately 38% through late 2025, Ventura County continues to monitor internal safety trends through a unified traffic collision database funded by OTS to better coordinate safety solutions across its 10 cities.
