The National Accident Sampling System (NASS) is a major accident data collection program of the National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA) of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Implementation and operation of the St. Clair, Shelby County Primary Sampling Unit (PSU) began in October 1977 and will terminate under the present contract in October 1980. A primary mission of the NHTSA within the U.S. Department of Transportation is to improve highway safety. To assist in this mission a need was recognized for a comprehensive statistical data base to support development of new and improved vehicle safety standards and other safety programs and to encourage improved vehicle design. To establish this data base the NASS design called for the establishment of accident investigation teams in different states with each team investigating a probability sample of accidents. This report outlines the activities of the team operating in the St. Clair, Shelby County PSU and focuses on all aspects of the operation from establishing relations with state and community agencies, to training activities to continuous data collection.
