Good morning thanks for joining us today and Welcome to Baltimore

2. Roadway Safety Data Program Technical Assistance
Roadway Data Improvement Program
Roadway Data Extraction Technical Assistance Program
Safety Data & Analysis Technical Assistance Program
Our goal is to be able to meet any kind of safety data & analysis-related technical assistance request. In addition to the Technical Assistance available through the Resource Center and Safety R&D’s STAC, the RSDP has several technical assistance programs
The first 2 programs (RDIP and RDETAP) address specific issues; the third covers everything else.

3. Roadway Data Improvement Program (RDIP)
Based on the Crash Data Improvement Program Model
Assist States to improve the collection & management of roadway/traffic data elements
What data are collected and how?
How are the data used and by whom?
What data management policies, practices and procedures does the State have in place?
Are the roadway/traffic data able to be integrated with other data (e.g. crash, citation, vehicle)?
What is the quality of the roadway/traffic data?
RDIP would be particularly good for States reviewing their data programs and/or planning/implementing improvements to and/or reorganization of their data programs. In this program, a team of technical experts spends several days in the State reviewing data programs, sharing insights from other States, and offering recommendations.

4. RDIP Program What does the RDIP consist of? How is the RDIP conducted?
Guide
Workshop
Technology Transfer Session
Report with recommendations
How is the RDIP conducted?
A technical assistance team (TAT) of subject matter experts reviews relevant materials prior to State visit
Meet with key administrators, managers, technicians on-site
Assess State practices and procedures for roadway/traffic data
Develop report to convey findings and recommendations for improvements

5. Roadway Data Extraction Technical Assistance Program (RDETAP)
Deliver technical assistance to state and local agencies on methods of extracting roadway data from existing resources (video logs, Google Earth, Bing)
RDETAP to deliver accurate and consistent roadway data for use in analytic models
Serve as an exchange medium for data between state and local agencies
RDETAP is currently in pilot testing
Tech Assistance available in 2017
RDETAP’s a more detailed program

6. Safety Data & Analysis Technical Assistance Program
Open to all states and local agencies or their representatives
Matched with subject matter experts
Range of services available:
One-on-one consultations
Peer exchanges on-site or web based
Technical workshops
Start with RSPCB P2P

8. Technical Assistance States
We have helped 16 states with our data program

9. Technical Assistance Examples
Connecticut’s Safety Data and Analysis Peer Exchange - Highlighted CT Crash repository
Crash and Roadway Data Action plans developed
Follow-up and other technical assistance opportunities
CT hosted with all of the northeast states in attendance as well as NY, TN, FL, LA, and MI.
Resulting in action plans

10. Technical Assistance Examples
Missouri’s Roadway Data Improvement Program piloted in 2014
Helped MODOT see opportunities to collect and use local roadway data
RDIP revised as result of MODOTs input

11. Technical Assistance Examples
Washington Roadway Data Extraction Technical Assistance developed intersection inventory
