Numbers for 2025 haven't been reported yet. Usually, it's reported on an annual basis by the NTSB. But, with all the gov't cutbacks, who knows what and if they are counting.
Per ChatGPT:
In 2024, the FAA recorded a total of 1,661 runway incursions, averaging approximately 29 per million landings and takeoffs. This marked a decrease from the 1,777 incursions reported in 2023, averaging 33 per million movements, and the 1,474 incursions in 2022, averaging 32 per million movements. Notably, the 2024 figure represents the lowest rate in at least a decade.
