Traffic Records Coordinating Committee

Strategy 2: Crash

1. Implement collaborative consensus of MMUCC 6th edition recommendations in Enforcement Mobile Form 5 (crash form). This will include necessary changes to the data dictionary.
2. Improve the consistency and reliability of delivery of the crash files from law enforcement to the State to reduce processing effort, shorten the time between a crash and data availability, and minimize the risk of data quality issues.
3. Improve geolocation capabilities in Enforcement Mobile to give users closer to real-time data with which to make critical programmatic and infrastructure enhancements.
4. Enhance procedures for managing errors and incomplete data and formalize efforts within Enforcement Mobile to ensure that data from reports with validation errors are mitigated.
5. Implement an Enforcement Mobile report upon implementation of new Form 5 (crash report) related to timeliness, accuracy, and completeness. This will be distributed to users for improved training, relative updates, and allow for feedback from users and data collectors.
6. Establish performance measures related to the quality categories (accuracy, completeness, etc.). These should include baselines and timeframes to establish effectiveness as data quality improvement initiatives are implemented.

 Strategy 3: Vehicle/Driver

1. Increase active representation on the Nevada Traffic Records Coordinating Committee (TRCC) from Nevada DMV and integrate DMV driver and vehicle data with the Enforcement Mobile crash system. This integration could strengthen eligibility for federal traffic records grant funding to enhance the vehicle data system.
2. Attain the driver and vehicles system data from the DMV and link to the Enforcement Mobile crash system.
3. Obtain the required authorizations or attain a nonproprietary version of the driver system documents and narratives to assist with future assessments and system evaluations.

Strategy 4: Roadway

1. Establish and maintain a quarterly coordination schedule with all TRCC/NVACTS member agencies and other relevant data providers to identify, document, and share available roadway datasets.
2. Develop and implement standardized data access protocols for state roadway data users, including user roles, permissions, and request procedures.
3. Utilize existing roadway data to support crash timeliness performance metrics by integrating with crash processing systems.
4. A roadway data archival system has been successfully implemented. Ongoing review cycles will ensure its effectiveness.
5. The integrated database combining roadway and crash data elements is now operational. Next steps involve expanding analytical capabilities and user access as needed.
6. A formal QC program for traffic crash data has been implemented, including defined procedures and validation tools. Consider expanding QC practices to roadway data in the next phase.

Strategy 5: Citation/Adjudication

1. Explore the development of a complete set of performance measures related to the quality of citation systems’ data.
2. Establish an official set of security protocols governing data access, integration with Enforcement Mobile, modification, and release that can be applied to each court management system.
3. Encourage all court systems to standardize their information systems using established national protocols and standards.

Strategy 6: EMS/Injury Surveillance

1. Share information and data management reports with TRCC on a regular basis.
2. Build on the success of the integration of the State crash file and the statewide Nevada trauma registry data and integrate all components of the injury surveillance system.
3. Develop the core injury surveillance data into an important resource to define, evaluate, and support highway safety programs and projects through enhanced coordination with the State’s health agencies.
