Just two weeks after the Department for Transport (DfT) published the final 2025 Reported Road Casualties Great Britain (RRCGB) STATS19 data, road safety consultancy Agilysis has launched a free online dashboard giving every highway authority, police force and Nation in Great Britain its first view of performance against the baseline set in the government’s Road Safety Strategy.
The dashboard covers Great Britain, England, Scotland and Wales, and all 207 highway authorities and 43 police force areas beneath them, across six of the 17 national SPIs.
Every figure is shown against three reference points at once: the 2014 to 2019 pre-pandemic average, the DfT’s official 2022 to 2024 baseline, and the latest 2025 year, so users get context alongside the number rather than a single stat that requires separate lookups elsewhere.
Several Highways Authorities are deep into Local Government Reorganisation, some with new unitary boundaries proposed but not yet confirmed by government. Agilysis has deliberately built the current version on 2025 boundaries, the most recent confirmed geography, rather than estimating. That means an authority mid-reorganisation can still see exactly where it stands today; however, a more difficult question will be what the data will look like once several areas merge into a single authority.
Agilysis intends to provide future updates to this dashboard once boundaries are confirmed, so that newly formed unitary authorities can see what their combined predecessor areas’ Safety Performance Indicators already look like under the same baseline, rather than starting their reporting from zero on day one.
Two further updates are planned. As DfT grants approval for the remaining 11 national SPIs not yet included, several of which, including the proportion of traffic travelling within the speed limit, are already in progress and waiting only on data-sharing permission, they will be added to the dashboard. Statistical significance testing is also planned for the next release to help flag which year-on-year movements in an area’s figures are likely to reflect a genuine change rather than ordinary fluctuations in a small count, a distinction that Agilysis’ companion white paper, Measuring risk before it becomes harm, sets out in more detail.
Richard Owen, Chief Executive Officer at Agilysis, said: “This is the first year we can actually measure locally against the targets in the new strategy, so it’s important that we get an accurate measure. The only complication is LGR, but once that is settled, we’ll include new authorities in an update later this year. We built this dashboard to make data more accessible to those who run our road networks, making it free and in one place, rather than leaving it buried in a national spreadsheet.”
Tanya Fosdick, Chief Operating Officer at Agilysis, added: “A single year of casualty data, especially for smaller counts, will always move around more than the underlying safety of the network. We’ve built the dashboard to show every indicator against the longer pre-pandemic average as well as the baseline, so users can see that context rather than reading one number in isolation. We’d genuinely welcome authorities and forces telling us what would make it more useful to them.”
The Road Safety Performance Indicators dashboard is free to use and available now at agilysis.co.uk/spidashboard.
