2 Mission: The mission of FARS is to make vehicle crash information accessible and useful so that traffic safety can be improved

3 NHTSA created FARS in 1975 National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA) Created to assist the Traffic Safety Community

4 Traffic Safety Problems: Hazardous intersections Risky Driver behaviors Age specific behaviors Road maintenance issues Traffic volume issues Weather related factors Collisions with animals

5 Traffic Safety Problems: Red light running Motorcycle safety measures Workzone issues Railway crossing issues Pedestrian and bicyclist related concerns Alcohol and Drug related concerns

6 Evaluating motor vehicle safety standards Vehicle specific issues Airbag effectiveness Restraint effectiveness Rollover prevention Commercial Vehicle standards Fire suppression systems Safety Glass effectiveness Vehicle computer systems

7 Evaluating Highway Safety Initiatives Click It or Ticket programs Ignition Interlock devices DUI Enforcement Media campaigns Graduated Drivers licenses Distracted Driving reduction efforts Red light cameras Traffic stops

8 Evaluating Highway Safety Initiatives Drug Recognition Experts (DRE) Strategic Traffic Enforcement Partnerships Highway Fatality Memorial Signs Traffic Safety Corridors High Visibility Enforcement programs REDDI Report Campaigns

9 Illustrates environmental, roadway, vehicle, driver, pre-crash, occupant, and non-occupant factors Identifies the roles of repeat offenders Supports restraint and helmet usage laws Strengthens state grant performance measures Substantiates grant proposals Influences speed limits Effects vehicle safety designs Impacts airbag effectiveness research

10 National Census of Motor Vehicle Fatalities Sole source of National statistics on police reported fatalities 50 States, DC, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands Over 3,000 requests for info each year NHTSA contracts with each State

11 Documenting the information at crash scenes is a time consuming but imperative task, and it is one of the most important functions of the Law Enforcement Officers at the scene Why is this information necessary? What information is used?

12 The data collected in Police Collision Reports are used by: Police Administrators Traffic Engineers Lawmakers Vehicle Manufacturers Animal Welfare Organizations State HSOs and NHTSA

13 NHTSA State and Local Governments Research Organizations Private Citizens The Auto Industry Insurance Industry Medical Community Highway Safety Improvement Programs Law Enforcement State Road and Traffic Engineers Congress Media Advocacy Groups

14 FARS has provided the data that: Changed national BAC laws from.10 to.08 Influenced legislators to establish primary seatbelt legislation in many states Instituted many safety features on state and federal highways Started DUI Traffic teams Started Vehicle Inspection Programs Helped implement safer Child restraints Helped create remote emergency response programs Helped create vehicle safety features that are now standard

15 FARS data may be used for: Developing and evaluating program effectiveness Identifying problem locations in a region Identifying problem issues in a region Reporting seatbelt usage Reporting alcohol and drug use Defining target audiences for programs Evaluating new technologies

16 FARS data may be used for: Understanding the nature, causes, and injury outcomes of crashes Discovering emerging traffic safety issues and problems Determining priorities and supporting decisionmaking Targeting resources where they will be most effective Understanding the strategies and interventions that will reduce crashes and their consequences

17 1. At least one motor vehicle in-transport on a trafficway customarily open to the public 2. At least one human fatality 3. The Fatality must occur within 30 days (720 hours) of the crash 4. The Fatality must be as a direct result of the crash 5. The fatality must not be a result of deliberate intent
