New Funding Opportunities!!

Please visit the updated Funding page for updated information on alternative funding sources for traffic records initiatives.  Please visit often to check for updated opportunities. 

 

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.
