The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) data systems each have a unique and essential role in supporting our primary mission of saving lives and preventing injuries associated with motor vehicle crashes. NHTSA, in partnership with the safety community, addresses this mission in three ways: primary prevention (e.g., preventing the crash from occurring), motor vehicle crashworthiness (e.g., elimination of injuries and fatalities during a crash), and effective post-crash response (e.g. mitigation of crash consequences through a sound system of emergency medical services). NHTSA believes that combining sound science with quality crash and fatality data are absolutely essential to reducing the human and economic cost of motor vehicle crashes. NHTSAs traffic safety data provide the underpinning for informed highway safety decision-making at the Federal, State, and local levels. Accurate, accessible, timely, and standardized data allow decision makers to identify the primary factors related to the source of crashes and their outcomes, develop and evaluate effective safety countermeasures, support traffic safety operations, measure progress in reducing crashes and their severity, design effective vehicle safety regulations, and target safety funding.
