Vehicle crash records are routinely contained in multiple databases managed by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), including the Crash Records Information System, the Texas Reference Marker, the Roadway/Highway Network Inventory and the Texas Pavement Management Information System. CTS staff have provided statistical analysis to assist in correlating these resources, along with federal crash statistics, making it possible to produce more accurate and meaningful reports, and thereby better understand the state’s traffic safety challenges.
