MMUCC Guideline: Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria, 6th Edition
The Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria (MMUCC) gives States a guideline for describing crashes involving motor vehicles in-transport. MMUCC can help States generate the data necessary to quickly gain traffic safety insights. Since its inception in 1998, MMUCC has been a voluntary guideline for States; however, standardization of crash data is essential to NHTSA and its safety stakeholders. Crash data NHTSA obtains from the States supports several of NHTSA's efforts such as the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and the Crash Report Sampling System (CRSS), which are essential to NHTSA's traffic safety activities as well as to other Federal, State, and local agencies. The MMUCC 6th edition is the result of a 3-year collaboration with DOT modal partners and consultation with States and subject matter experts to redesign data elements with clarity, purpose, and feasibility, with the goal of harmonizing MMUCC with NHTSA’s data systems CRSS, Crash Investigation Sampling System (CISS), and FARS. Significant changes to the MMUCC 6th edition include new chapters on Narrative and Diagram, Data Integration, and designing User-Centered Crash Reporting Systems. In addition, the formula for calculating MMUCC alignment now distinguishes between uniformity and completeness.
