Traffic data is the key when planning, implementing and evaluating our road safety performance.
Improve data accessibility: create a universal crash data archive that is accessible to different agencies and the general public, according to their individual needs.
Improved crash location accuracy: the crash location data file should be able to be linked to the same crash location information in other traffic records systems. This will improve the analysis of site-specific safety issues.
Improve data integration efforts: communicate the importance of this area of emphasis in shock reduction by promoting the implementation of TRCC strategic plans and the participation of each committee member.
60
Target
Reduce crash data availability time from 358 days to 60 days.
Strategic goal
Create a data warehouse that integrates traffic records systems and improve the accessibility, timeliness, and uniformity of the crash data system.
Performance goal
Time when crash data is available.
Strategies
The availability of up-to-date and reliable traffic data helps managers at all levels and in all sectors to make long- and short-term changes to reduce the number of crashes and lives impacted. The chances of making better decisions increase when data from different systems are integrated.
