Why Become a Sponsor?

For the Traffic Records Forum(TRF), the essential reason for sponsorships is to support the conference growth. This growth would include:

  • Increased sponsor dollars allowing the Forum to attract more attendees and by offering a more robust agenda, enhanced activities, and a social experience that continues to build participation each year.

Brief History of ATSIP

The Association of Transportation Safety Information Professionals(ATSIP) is the leading advocate for improving the quality and use of transportation safety information often called ‘traffic records’ since the early 1970’s. Traffic records contain information about:

  • Transportation systems,
  • Environment, vehicles and people,
  • And the results of system failures –collisions, injuries, and deaths.

ATSIP’s Goal is to improve the quality of traffic records –to make them timely, accurate, uniform, complete, accessible, and integrated –and to encourage their use to select, implement and evaluate effective safety programs and policies throughout the world.

ATSIP’s Organization consists of an Executive Board and professional members. Its activities are supported by governments, academic and professional associations, and private sector partners. The Executive Board is responsible for vision,planning,and implementing efforts that support the Association’s mission. Its members are a geographically and professionally diverse group of traffic records volunteers who typically serve three-year terms.

ATSIP’s membership consists of professionals from local, state and federal government agencies, including Departments of Transportation, Public Safety, and Highway Safety Offices, as well as law enforcement agencies, private sector professionals, and partners from academia and university research centers.
