NHTSAs mission is to save lives, prevent injuries and reduce traffic-related health care and other economic costs. The agency develops, promotes and implements effective educational, engineering and enforcement programs with the goal of ending preventable tragedies and reducing economic costs associated with vehicle use and highway travel. Today's traffic safety professional needs reliable, accurate, and timely data to make decisions about traffic safety problems and countermeasures and to manage and evaluate safety programs. A States Traffic Records System encompasses the hardware, software, personnel, and procedures that capture, store, transmit, analyze, and interpret traffic safety data. The data that are managed by this system include the crash, driver licensing and history, vehicle registration and titling along with commercial motor vehicle, roadway, injury control, citation/adjudication, and exposure information. A complete traffic records system collects and stores data from a variety of sources. As a result, much of the data that makes up the system has been collected for purposes other than traffic safety. Thus, the traffic records system involves many areas of data collection across several organizations and the value and use of the data is largely dependent on the policies and practices used in collecting it. Consequently, the traffic records system is usually a collaborative effort spread across many agencies and organizations. NHTSA has continued to support the development of State traffic records systems through many venues, including conducting assessments of States traffic records systems, the crash data improvement program, the annual International Forum on Traffic Records and Highway Safety Information, technical assistance provided through Go Team program, and maintaining the Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria (MMUCCC) guidelines and helping States to adopt this standard by measuring their alignment to MMUCC. At the time of award of the IDIQ contracts, the Government contemplates concurrently awarding the first two Task Orders. The Statements of Work, Instructions, and Evaluation Criteria for these two (2) task orders are included with this solicitation (see Attachment J.13, Traffic Records Assessments and Support and Attachment J.14, Technical Assistance GO Team).
