The City of Norwalk says motor vehicle crashes in the city decreased by 27% and pedestrian-involved crashes declined by 14% in 2025.

They say this is due to ongoing efforts to improve safety through police enforcement, infrastructure investments, and education initiatives.

They made the announcement on Wednesday during a press conference to discuss the city's roadway safety initiatives and achievements.

The city added that it installed miles of new sidewalks last year to increase pedestrian safety efforts.

Targeted traffic enforcement efforts and community outreach campaigns aimed at promoting safe driving behaviors. Pedestrian awareness was also credited as a contributing factor to their roadway statistic improvements.
