Model Impaired Driving Records
Information System (MIDRIS) Technical Assistance
http://www.nhtsa-tsis.net/midris
Various type of MIDRIS training are now being offered. An initial
round of state web meetings will take place during the summer of 2010 will
focus on what MIDRIS is, is not, how it will affect states, resources
available to the states, and discussion of possible alternate funding
sources for parts of a system with a MIDRIS scope.
Contact your NHTSA Region about the following types of assistance:
· Web-based/telephone
and on-site technical support
· Assistance
in documenting current status of MIDRIS data within the state—where is the
data, who manages it. This would be done as a basis for establishing data
gaps and likely sources / partners in an MIDRIS implementation effort.
· Facilitation
of stakeholder discussions to establish feasibility and possible approach to
implementing MIDRIS within a state.
· Session
and booth at the 2010 Traffic Records Forum.

36th International Forum on Traffic
Records & Highway Safety Information Systems
The Hilton Riverside Hotel, New Orleans,
Louisiana
July 25 - 28, 2010
“Leaving the Silos Behind”
http://www.trafficrecordsforum.org
The Forum Program addresses issues and
research within or across one or more of the six federal Core Highway Safety
Data Systems: (Crash, Roadway, Driver, Vehicle, Citation / Adjudication, and
Injury Surveillance) as well as in related fields of human behavior, information
management and information technology.
The 2010 Program will emphasize research
and programs that cut across and exist outside the usual separate “programmatic
silos” that have narrowed and restricted the progress across the wide front of
traffic safety issues. In keeping with the goal to widen the world view of
traffic safety information professionals, the planning committee is seeking to
build a program that encompasses the widest range of traffic safety topics.
