California is experiencing a significant and record-breaking decline in pedestrian fatalities. According to 2025–2026 GHSA and OTS data, the state saw a 32% drop in pedestrian deaths during the first half of 2025 — the largest year-over-year decrease since tracking began 15 years ago. This follows a broader trend where 2023 pedestrian fatalities fell 8.8% to 1,106. Despite this progress, pedestrians remain disproportionately vulnerable, accounting for roughly 27% of all traffic deaths despite representing a small fraction of trips.
The primary risk factors remain consistent: 75% of fatalities occur after dark, and 25% involve hit-and-run drivers.
