Traffic Records Best Practice

Each year the Traffic Records Forum looks for projects that exemplify best practices in the improvement of highway safety information systems within Federal, State or Local highway jurisdictions. 

One of the major components that are used as a guide is the National Agenda Goals.  This document can be found by going to the Web site “www.atsip.org”, then click on TR Documents, and selecting National Agenda.

The Best Practices Review Committee will rank each project based on a predetermined set of criteria.   The highest ranked project will receive two free registrations to this year’s Forum, free booth space, and recognition at a major meal function as part of the Forum.  The nominations must be submitted by May 1, 2002. 

Nominations:
