it literally says right in the clip above.
here's the full text:

if you actually gave a **** (rather than figuring you could cast doubt on the findings by flinging **** at the wall) you could read the methodology :
Estimates of person-miles traveled by mode and race/ethnicity group were derived from the 2017 National Household Travel Survey using replicate weights. Three-year average (2016‒2018) traffic fatalities were measured by mode and race/ethnicity group with the U.S. Fatality Analysis Reporting System. Fatality rates per mile traveled and CIs were calculated for each subgroup as well as separately for trips occurring during darkness and in urban areas. Analysis was conducted in 2021‒2022.
Unlike the NHTS, the FARS is a census of all vehicle crash fatalities on nonprivate roadways published annually by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
you can then go further and look at the NHTSA data. your statement that the "only" entity which keeps bike accident statistics is new york city is just obviously and demonstrably false. here's the data for san francisco, for example.

every single one of these is mapped and reported. care to revise your statement?
