Statewide motor vehicle traffic crash data systems provide the basic information necessary for effective highway and traffic safety efforts at any level of government--local, state or federal. Unfortunately, the use of state crash data is often hindered by the lack of uniformity between and within states. NHTSA and FHWA are cooperating with the National Association of Governors' Highway Safety Representatives (NAGHSR) to develop model minimum uniform crash criteria (MMUCC). Development of MMUCC has been structured to obtain maximum input from all sectors of the highway safety community. MMUCC includes 75 minimum data elements that need to be collected by police at the crash scene and an additional 38 data elements that can be derived (11 data elements) from those that are collected at the scene or obtained by linking (27 data elements) to other data files, e.g., roadway data, injury data, etc. the total 113 data elements represent a 'model' data set which can be expanded as necessary to meet a state's specific needs.
