Traffic records, encompassing all records pertaining to the highway safety activities of a State, play a significant role in the highway safety effort. They provide the support necessary to develop, implement and evaluate impact countermeasures such as highway engineering improvements and selective enforcement projects. They form the information base for managing the highway safety program at all governmental levels. At the State level, traffic records provide the data for identifying safety problems, developing corrective measures and evaluating actions taken. State traffic records are the primary source of data for the formation of national data bases. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) National Center for Statistics and Analysis depends on State data for its two major data bases, the Fatal Accident Reporting System and the National Accident Sampling System. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) looks to State data, for example, to identify truck safety problems for administration of its motor carrier safety program and to identify safety problems which should be addressed by the highway construction program. The report presents an overview of past accomplishments, and present status.
