Traffic Records Assessment: State of Illinois, May 1-5, 2006

Upon request by the Illinois Division of Traffic Safety (DTS) of the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) assembled a team to facilitate a traffic records assessment. Concurrently the DTS carried out the necessary logistical and administrative steps in preparation for the onsite assessment. A team of professionals with backgrounds and expertise in the several component areas of traffic records data systems (crash, driver/vehicle, traffic engineering, enforcement and adjudication, and medical data systems) conducted the assessment May 1 to 5, 2006. The scope of this assessment covered all of the components of a traffic records system. The purpose was to determine whether the Illinois traffic records system is capable of supporting managements needs to identify the states safety problems, to manage the countermeasures applied to reduce or eliminate those problems, and to evaluate those programs for their effectiveness. The following discusses some of the key findings regarding the ability of the present traffic records system to support management of the states highway safety programs.
