• Abstract:
  NJDOT’s Bureau of Transportation Data and Safety (BTDS) collects all New Jersey Police Crash Investigation Report forms (NJTR-1) statewide from State and local law enforcement agencies. BTDS receives an average of 320,000 crash reports per year to process, scan, verify, and store in a database. With an abundance of available data, State and local government agencies need a quick and easy visual perspective tool for their data-driven crash analysis and safety programs. NJDOT has developed several data-driven safety programs to identify locations in need of improvements based on crash data from NJTR-1 reports. Beyond safety programs established by NJDOT, the data captured in NJTR-1 reports are used for the development of grant applications, resource allocation, and statistical analysis. Over 20 agencies, including the Division of Highway Traffic Safety, Motor Vehicles Commission research institutes, and State and local police use the data.
