Progress To Date

Since the new MMUCC PR-1 went into effect on January 1, 2015:

Over 69,579 MMUCC PR-1 crash reports have been received electronically (either through fillable PDF or vendor software)

Only 1677 cases with errors; 32,397 cases with warnings (only 53 of 115 edit rules being enforced at the FTP site)

About 30,000 cases processed at the DOT and uploaded to UCONN for retrieval and analysis

Some vendor software issues exist but being resolved

Transition for larger departments has been a challenge but all are adjusting

Field Coordinator Daily Outreach- training, crash upload issues

MMUCC PR-1 Challenges

Goal: Turn current warnings on as edits at FTP site by end of calendar year (Acceptance Rules 54 through 115)

Current Warning Situation

Averaging about 50 per cent mostly related to incomplete fields, misuse of non applicable and none, alcohol drug test status and type, most harmful event, distance from nearest intersection, transport to nearest medical facility, damaged areas of vehicle

DOT coders fixing as needed to assure accurate location, consistency with diagram and narrative (increases processing time)

Most vendor software does not show warnings; fillable PDF does

Working with all vendors to achieve upgrades

Primary emphasis –completing all blank fields

⁞ No valid Data Element or Attribute to be left behind

Why Crash Reporting: Because We Must and It Advances Our Safety Mission

State Statute:

(a) (1) The Commissioner of Transportation shall prescribe for the Division of State Police within the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection and for each police department and officer and other suitable agencies or individuals a uniform investigation of accident report, in such form as the Commissioner shall prescribe, which form shall be followed in filing all such reports

(2) In each motor vehicle accident in which any person is killed or injured or in which damage to the property of any one individual, including the operator, in excess of one thousand dollars is sustained, the police officer, agency or individual who, in the regular course of duty, investigates such accident, either at the time of or at the scene of the accident or thereafter, by interviewing the participants or witnesses, shall, within five days after completing such investigation, complete and forward one copy of such report to the Commissioner of Transportation.

Internal Crash Investigation Policies : All incidents related to the public’s safety especially a fatal or serious injury crash need to be part of the department’s official record in order to share data with the public, insurance providers, State or Federal entities including the NCIC if other charges are involved.

Private parking lot and citizen reported PDO crashes after the fact not DOT requirements

A Reminder: What is MMUCC and Why Is It Important?

National Guidelines for the Collection of Crash Data (CT Fully Compliant)

Stands for Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria (MMUCC)

Enhances crash investigations with more precise and relevant data

Connects the dots-able to tell the whole story of a crash: every data point has potential to save a life

Puts CT in position to compete for more research funds and grant money

A Reminder: What is MMUCC and Why Is It Important?

Helps to improve quality of our crash investigations

Easier retrieval and analysis of data (contributing factors, location etc)

Necessary to receive funding from the Federal government

Sets performance goals for the State for crash and injury reduction

Able to target resources to high problem locations and risk taking behaviors

Helps local law enforcement agencies better support grants for high visibility enforcement and public education

Instructor Discussion – How Validations Will Work In Your MMUCC PR-1 Crash Report

Field questions from Fillable PDF Departments:

Acceptance Rules To Be Enforced at the FTP site by January 1, 2016

Rationale Behind The Rules- easier/faster processing at the DOT, more complete and efficient validations within your software, fewer supervisor questions and rejections

Special case discussion: parking lots, evading vehicles, supplemental reports

Instructor (KTI staff) demos how validations will work in new e-crash software update (mid October)

Discussion and Questions

Recommendations to the DOT or vendor for making validation checks run more smoothly

Managing Data Quality-DOT Guidance on Missing Cases, Parking Lot Crashes, and Revised Supplemental Reports DOT Guidance: Missing Cases (Cases Rejected at FTP Site, Cases in Test File never

resubmitted)

⁞ Local departments strongly encouraged to resubmit missing cases to get full credit for highway safety problems; simply request a missing case report from Field Coordinators. There are approximately 1600 rejected cases in the DOT system that have not been refiled

⁞ Departments that have already released rejected cases as “official reports” subject to FOI requirements should try to assure that reports meet State criteria for accuracy and completeness;

⁞ Departments should fix DOT rejected reports ,resend them to the FTP site, file them as “corrected reports” in their local RMS systems and disseminate revisions to interested parties as appropriate

⁞ Moving forward, departments should consider holding internally approved reports for 24 hours to allow time for DOT error messages to be sent back. Reports completed during the weekend (Friday 6:00 pm through Monday 6:00 am) should be held until such time as DOT can send out error messages beginning Monday morning

Managing Data Quality-DOT Policy on Missing Cases, Parking Lot Crashes, and Revised Supplemental Reports

DOT Guidance: Revised Cases (Supplemental Reports)

⁞ Local departments strongly encouraged to submit supplemental reports that add more information to the original crash report filed with the DOT (e.g. evading drivers). Within the local system, supplemental reports (added narrative, driver, and vehicle pages are attached to the original paper report

⁞ For electronic reporting, departments should submit a revised report (checkbox at the end of the narrative page) with the same case number as the original. The DOT system will override the original report.
