About Traffic Records
A truly successful Traffic Records System includes the collection, management, and analysis of data within six core statewide data systems – Crash, Driver, Vehicle, Roadway, Citation or Adjudication, and EMS or Injury Surveillance. The integration of these various state agency data systems is essential for creating a comprehensive database of information that can be analyzed to identify both engineering and behavioral dangers on Illinois roadways. The quality of this data is assessed by measuring the timeliness, completion, accuracy, uniformity, integration, and accessibility of each data element.
The TRCC works to ensure compliancy with the six core statewide data systems (also commonly referred to as the NHTSA six-pack). Because there are two subcommittees that comprise the TRCC- the Executive Committee and the Technical Committee- both subcommittees work on their respectively assigned tasks to ensure Illinois traffic data meets all requirements from laws to policies to stakeholder needs. Complete details on the Executive Committee and Technical Committee will be made available in the TRCC Charter, MOU, and Guidelines that are currently undergoing review and approval. Email DOT.TRCC@illinois.gov for complete details.
