BIA & Tribal Police should collect MMUCC data BIA & Tribes should share crash data with states Tribes & States should consult on crash data sharing barriers, revise NHTSA Traffic Records Assessment Manual to include communication with tribes
Tribes encouraged to conduct traffic records assessments (NCHRP 788)
GIS based NTTFI would enable improved safety analysis

Strategic Transportation Safety Plan
Toolkit for Tribal Governments
345 Tribes funded to develop a safety plan, FY13‐16
At least 3 Tribes have developed plans without funding.
Total of 61% of Tribes have funding or have developed a safety plan.
Safety Plans
Data Driven Included in Safety Plan Comprehensive ApproachMatching funds (not required)
TTPSF Application Ranking CriteriaSafety Data Collection, Assessment, or Analysis
Data Driven• Safety data assessments and improvements: Supporting data documentation should be an estimate of the data to be collected (such as approximate number of crashes per year) and a description of any process currently used to collect that data.
Traffic Records Assessments

Data Analysis• Road Safety Audits (RSA): Site specific data should be submitted which demonstrates an incident history or propensity for the specific roadway to be analyzed by the RSA.
• Systemic Safety Studies: Data should be provided which demonstrates an incident history associated with the risk factor to be studied.
Data Driven Included in Safety Plan Comprehensive ApproachMatching funds (not required) Road Ownership (letter for not tribal/BIA road)RSA or Engineering Safety Study (not required)
TTPSF Application Ranking CriteriaEngineering
Infrastructure ‐ Data Driven• Infrastructure Improvement – Highly Qualified –
Data on subject roadway that project will address
• Infrastructure Improvement – Qualified – Data demonstrates a system‐wide problem that the project addresses.
• Infrastructure Improvement – Not Qualified – no data or data is only the number of crashes on the system.
