This grant program makes federal funds available to help improve state safety data systems through projects that:
- Make measurable improvements to performance attributes (accessibility, accuracy, completeness, integration, timeliness, or uniformity) of state safety data systems (citation/adjudication, crash, driver, EMS/injury surveillance, roadway, or vehicle) that will assist with identifying priorities for federal, state, and local traffic safety programs;
- Evaluate the effectiveness of such efforts;
- Link state data systems, including traffic records and relevant data systems;
- Improve the compatibility and interoperability of state data systems with national data systems and the data systems of other states; and
- Enhance the state’s ability to observe and analyze national trends in crash occurrences, rates, outcomes, and circumstances.
