State’s transportation crash reporting partnership garners award
The Governor's Highway Safety Association (GHSA) has awarded the Connecticut Department of Transportation and UConn Transportation Safety Research Center (CTSRC) a national award for their joint reporting of crash data.
Officials from the CTDOT and the CTSRC accepted the Peter K. O'Rourke Special Achievement Award in the Field of Highway Safety on Aug. 31 at the GHSA annual meeting for CTDOT's motor vehicle crash reporting system and CTSRC's development of the Connecticut Crash Data Repository, DOT Commissioner James P. Redeker said.
In just over two years, the two partnering agencies have developed a statewide electronic crash reporting system based on the national model minimum uniform crash criteria that provides real-time crash data to all highway safety users. Crash report processing times have been reduced from 16 months to two weeks as a result, he said.
