Why was the TRCC formed?
The TRCC was formed in response to a combination of issues, including:
A statewide traffic records assessment performed in March 2005 that included a recommendation to develop a traffic records committee to improve the quality of traffic record data.
A federal transportation bill, the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), which allocates Section 408 funds to help states develop traffic records reporting capabilities.
The need to develop better communication between state agencies, federal partners, and local associations to facilitate improved collection, analysis, and dissemination of traffic records data.
