The National Collision Database (NCDB) is a set of data on reportable motor vehicle collisions that occurred on public roads in Canada. The provinces and territories, who own the data, provide it to the federal government. The federal government combines the data and tracks the number of deaths, injuries and collisions in Canada. The data are also used for reporting and analysis.
