Data Integration Sub-committee  Formed by the TRC in March 2009 to identify solutions to link crash events and injury records (identified as a gap in the 2009 Traffic Records Assessment)  The subcommittee will meet monthly to review, discuss successes and resolve barriers to data linking, to review and assist with analyses of the linked files, and to develop policies and strategies to accomplish this work now and in the future.  In April 2014, WTSC hired Project employee Joyce Fan to: Begin testing methods and developing processes Lead the sub-committee 3 Year commitment by TRC 23

STRATEGIC HIGHWAY SAFETY PLAN Your participation in the SHSP, which is viewed by the U.S. DOT as Washington's comprehensive transportation safety plan, is imperative to the plan’s success.  Updated every 3-5 years and submitted to FHWA  Identifies and Analyzes Highway Safety Problems and Opportunities on All Public Roads  Is Developed in Consultation with a Broad Range of Safety Stakeholders  Includes the 4(or 5) Es of Safety 24

HIGHWAY SAFETY PLAN  Summited by WTSC every July, detailing active projects to reduce fatalities and serous injuries  The Highway Safety Plan uses data to:  Identify the state’s top highway safety problems  Establish overall highway safety performance measure targets  Report progress in meeting prior year performance measure targets 20

ANNUAL REPORT  Effectiveness of Programs And Initiatives  Progress in HSP Meeting Performance Targets 26

NHTSA GO TEAMS  Provide Technical Assistance or Training to Improve Traffic Records Data Collection, Management, and Analysis Capabilities  Small group of one to three subject matter experts  Address a smaller scale, short- to medium-term need  Requests should address a specific traffic records improvement need  Identified by the TRCC and SHSO ic+Records 19

EXAMPLE GO TEAMS TOPICS Data Integration: Evaluate available databases and facilitate discussion between data custodians to allow sharing and integration between agencies and suggest how integrated data could be used to identify problems and recommend and evaluate countermeasures Injury Surveillance: Facilitate discussions with data managers and help explain the importance of linking injury data with crash data, how data will be used, and address confidentiality concerns in order to move towards a data sharing agreement or MOU Citation/Adjudication: Help develop a “law table” to interpret the local charges and help States harmonize local and state statute citations so that more accurate data can be collected Source: NHTSA, “Requesting a NHTSA Go Team”, October ic+Records 20
