Data Improvement

Safety Data Improvement Programs Recognition

Are you aware of a safety data improvement program that deserves recognition? We are searching for significant projects at the state or local level that are focused upon providing more accurate, complete, timely, reliable, or accessible traffic safety data and examples of the use of traffic safety data in safety program development or operation.

We would like to include these notable efforts in the TSIS Newsletter to serve as an example for others in the field. Examples of existing data improvement programs may be viewed at the Traffic Records Team Data Improvement page.

Please e-mail sitemaster@nhtsa-tsis.net with your projects to help others in traffic safety!
