approach (e.g., question or scenariobased software) that is consistent with 

the MMUCC Guideline and the 

statewide database’s validation rules. 

The program will require that crash data 

is validated at the point records are 

added to the central State crash 

repository. 

The State electronic data collection 

program requires that NHTSA make 

electronic State crash data publicly 

available. See Public Law 117–58, 

24108(d)(4)(B). Consistent with Federal 

Privacy Law, 23 U.S.C. 403(e), 49 U.S.C. 

30183, and U.S. Department of 

Transportation policy, NHTSA will 

withhold from public disclosure any 

information in the State motor vehicle 

crash data that would lead to the 

identification of individuals involved in 

a motor vehicle crash. 

Request for Information 

The agency is interested in 

information that would help develop 

and implement a successful State 

electronic data collection program. This 

includes information about States’ 

existing capacity to collect, store, and 

transfer crash data from the State level 

to NHTSA; interest in moving to an 

electronic data collection framework; 

making State crash data accessible to the 

public; identifying potential barriers; 

describing the infrastructural needs to 

transition to an electronic data transfer 

protocol; and adoption of electronic 

crash reporting by law enforcement 

agencies. The information will support 

the development and implementation of 

the State electronic data collection 

program by taking into consideration 

the States’ experiences and operational 

capacity. NHTSA has a general 

understanding of how data collection 

and information technology protocols 

work based on NHTSA’s assessment of 

State traffic records systems, current 

State electronic data transfer, and FARS 

operations. However, NHTSA hereby 

seeks further information based on the 

below questions. This list is not 

exhaustive, and we encourage 

commenters to provide any further 

information that they believe is relevant 

to inform the agency as it seeks to 

implement a successful State electronic 

data collection grant program. 

Data Standardization and 

Modernization of Information 

Technology 

(1) What are the State’s current 

methodologies for collecting and 

standardizing statewide crash data 

electronically in a central repository? 

(2) NHTSA relies on MMUCC to 

establish a standardized data set. What 

steps are required for the State to meet 

this standardization? 

(a) Please provide an estimated 

timeline to implement MMUCC 

standardization. 

(b) What would it cost the State to 

move toward this data standardization? 

(3) If the State does not have a 

centralized statewide crash data 

repository, describe what the State will 

need to establish the infrastructure; 

processes and procedures; information 

technology requirement; and training, to 

support this data modernization effort? 

(4) Explain what the State will need 

to establish the infrastructure; processes 

and procedures; information technology 

requirement; and training to implement 

an electronic data transfer protocol. 

(5) How long would it take for the 

State to establish a centralized statewide 

crash data repository and to implement 

an electronic data transfer protocol? 

(6) What are the State’s estimated 

costs associated with establishing a 

centralized statewide crash repository to 

support an electronic data transfer 

protocol? 

(7) Explain the challenges associated 

with establishing a centralized 

statewide crash repository that supports 

an electronic data transfer protocol. 

Elaborate on the State’s needs to 

overcome those challenges. 

Law Enforcement Electronic Crash 

Reporting 

(8) What percentage or number of the 

State’s law enforcement agencies collect 

motor vehicle traffic crash information 

using an electronic crash report/records 

management system? 

(a) Are all law enforcement agencies 

in the State collecting motor vehicle 

traffic crash information via an 

electronic crash report/records 

management system using the same 

application? 

(b) For law enforcement agencies 

collecting motor vehicle traffic crash 

information using an electronic crash 

report/records management system, 

what application is used? 

(9) What percentage or number of law 

enforcement agencies solely use paper 

crash reports in the crash reporting 

process? 

(a) If so, are these paper reports coded 

into the centralized statewide crash 

repository? 

(b) Describe any law enforcement’s 

reservations for participating in 

electronic crash reporting to document 

motor vehicle traffic crash information? 

(c) Specify the needs and costs for law 

enforcement agencies to adopt 

electronic-crash reporting to document 

motor vehicle traffic crash information? 

Data Management 

(10) Does the State have a conceptual 

or notional design of how the data 

would flow into a centralized statewide 

crash data repository? If so, please 

elaborate. 

(11) If the State currently participates 

in NHTSA EDT protocol, does the State 

have written operating procedures for 

managing the data flow? If so, please 

submit the data flow or the operational 

structure. 

(12) Does the State, in its crash data, 

distinguish between crash types 

between self-reported and police 

reported crashes? 

(13) Does the State include variables 

to identify State-reportable vs. nonreportable crashes? 

Data Accessibility to the Public 

(14) Please provide recommendations 

on the format types for publicly 

available State crash data. 

(15) What State products and services 

that include State crash data does the 

State find are most helpful to the 

public? 

(16) Please advise if the State is 

interested in modernizing and 

standardizing its State crash system?

and consider information provided in 

response to this notice as it implements 

the State electronic data collection grant 

program, but will not respond to
