To minimize transmission of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), most US states in spring 2020 passed policies promoting social distancing through stay-at-home orders prohibiting nonessential travel. While vehicle miles traveled in the US decreased by 41% in April 2020 compared with 2019, the effect of this mobility decrease on motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) is poorly understood. We estimated associations between COVID-19–related social distancing policies, traffic volume, and MVC-related outcomes in Ohio.
