The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) convened a joint Task Force to determine the standards of comparison to be used in their review of accident data collected by the individual States. The Task Force also developed uniform review criteria. They then surveyed each State's accident data system, identifying problems and recommending corrective actions. The reviews were conducted in 1979, 1980 and the spring of 1981. The major portion of this report is devoted to the presentation of the findings, conclusions and recommendations of this Accident Data Improvement Plan (ADIP) project. Also included is a brief discussion of current FHWA and NHTSA program activities to improve traffic records systems, followed by a summation of national objectives determined as a result of the ADIP project findings.
