4. MassTRAC-What is it? The Massachusetts Traffic Records Analysis Center (MassTRAC) provides users with the ability to:  Perform key spatial and statistical analytic functions using crash, person and vehicle data.  Create map-based displays and perform spatial queries of crash locations.  Evaluate crash data and relate it to underlying road network characteristics.  Generate statistical summaries and tabulations of crash, person and vehicle characteristics.  Generate standard reports to be used in the development of various highway safety plans.
