Abstract:

In most states, police officers and trained investigators complete crash reports for nearly all reportable crashes that occur on public roads. Many states have made significant improvements in the quality and timeliness of their crash data systems by implementing, in addition to other improvements, electronic filing of these reports by police officers. Oregon relies on citizen reports for a majority of their crash data and paper forms must be submitted to the responsible state agency and are then manually coded into the crash data system. Police reports are also paper based. This process limits the improvements that can be made in both the quality and timeliness of data unless enhancements can be made to the reporting process. This report summarizes the results of a study on the feasibility of implementing a web-based system for reporting crashes, with a focus on citizen reporting and to a lesser extent police reporting. Feasibility was defined by acceptance of general public to electronic crash reporting, limited institutional or technical barriers to implementation, potential benefits and cost. The research found that the current use of online services for transactions with Driver and Motor Vehicle Services is fairly low but that nearly half of those surveyed indicated that they would file a crash report electronically. No institutional barriers were identified and high-level benefits were estimated to be between $0.8 and $1.1 million dollars over a 10 year period, primarily labor savings to the state. The main challenge to implementation would be identifying available resources in the current budgetary climate.
