This report examines the quality of state crash information; the activities states undertook using 411 grant funds to improve their traffic safety data systems, and the progress they made using the grant funds; and NHTSA's oversight of the grant program
Traffic crashes kill or injure millions of people each year. High-quality traffic safety data is vital to allocate resources and target programs as the National Highway Traffic Safety Admin, (NHTSA) and states work to improve traffic safety through data-driven approaches. To qualify for federal funding, states must submit plans which include fatality and crash data analyses to identify areas for improvement. This report provides information on: (1) the extent to which state traffic safety data systems meet NHTSA performance measures for assessing the quality of data systems; and (2) progress states have made in improving traffic safety data systems, and related challenges. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.
The Florida Traffic Safety Information System (TSIS) Strategic Plan serves as a guiding document for Florida’s Traffic Records Coordinating Committee (TRCC). The plan covers a five-year period from 2017 through 2021. The purpose of the TSIS Strategic Plan is to provide a blueprint for measuring progress towards advancing the accessibility, accuracy, completeness, timeliness, and uniformity of Florida’s traffic records systems and strengthening the TRCC program. It also provides Florida state agencies with a common basis for moving ahead with traffic records systems upgrades, integration, and data analysis required to conduct highway safety analyses in the State. The plan sets forth the specific actions and projects that will be undertaken over the next five years to accomplish these goals.
In late 1996 and early 1997, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Committee for Highway Traffic Safety, with the assistance of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and the Transportation Research Board (TRB) Committee on Transportation Safety Management, assembled a group of national safety experts in driver, vehicle, and highway issues from various organizations. The purpose was to develop a strategic plan for highway safety that would impact the nation's present and predicted statistics on vehicle-related death and injury. The participants included a range of stakeholders representing both the private and public sectors. This document contains the AASHTO Strategic Highway Safety Plan that was developed. It not only addresses what some consider the traditional AASHTO concerns for infrastructure, but also driver, occupant, vehicle, and post-crash responsibilities in non-infrastructure areas. Moreover, this major safety initiative is built on safety programs already in existence. The safety strategies are considered cost-effective and acceptable to a significant majority of Americans. A draft implementation plan was also developed for each strategy of the initiative. The critical strategies cover 22 key emphasis areas: instituting graduated licensing for young drivers; ensuring drivers are licensed and fully competent; sustaining proficiency in older drivers; curbing aggressive driving; reducing impaired driving; keeping drivers alert; increasing driver safety awareness; increasing seat belt usage and improving airbag effectiveness; making walking and street crossing easier; ensuring safer bicycle travel; improving motorcycle safety and increasing motorcycle awareness; making truck travel safer; increasing safety enhancements in vehicles; reducing vehicle-train crashes; keeping vehicles on the roadway; minimizing the consequences of leaving the road; improving the design and operation of highway intersections; reducing head-on and across-median crashes; designing safer work zones; enhancing emergency medical capabilities to increase survivability; improving information and decision support systems; and creating more effective processes and safety management systems.
"The mission of this strategic plan is to make Nebraska's traffic record system an integral and useable element of the state's highway safety efforts by all involved parties. The traffic records and information systems will be coordinated through the Nebraska Office of Highway Safety to form the foundation for effective and cooperative highway safety management of the state's core traffic records data systems: 1. Crash, 2. Vehicle, 3. Driver, 4. Roadway, 5. Citation/Adjudication and 6. EMS/Injury Surveillance" (page 3).
