Is Ontario safe to ride a motorcycle?
We don't rate cities as safe or unsafe: crash counts can't say how risky a street is, and busy streets have more crashes partly because more people use them. The records for Ontario are also incomplete: only 55% of its reported motorcycle crashes have a map location, so the numbers here are too low. What the records show: 230 motorcycle crashes were reported in Ontario from 2021–2025, 51 of them serious or fatal (12 fatal). The most were at I-10 (San Bernardino Fwy) & Milliken Ave (11).

Source: California Crash Reporting System (CCRS), 2021–2025.
