SAFETEA • S - Safe • A – Accountable • F – Flexible • E – Efficient • TEA – Transportation Equity Act of 2003
SAFETEA – Implications for Data • Discussed through out Forum • Enormous implications for Traffic Records data systems • Will allow for implementation of Information Technologies (IT) • Implementation of IT will allow for better safety data with fewer human resources
SAFETEA – Implications for Marketing • TRAFFIC SAFETY STORY • TRAFFIC RECORDS DATA MARKETING
SAFETEA – Implications for Marketing • Major opportunities for marketing • Will allow us to tell our TRAFFIC SAFETY story on a real-time basis • Will allow us to share information with audiences we don’t interact with regularly • Will allow us to interact on a real-time basis with constituents
Marketing Opportunities • Through Data Warehouses • Through Web Sites • Interactive Web Sites • TRAFFIC SAFETY STORY
Market Traffic Safety Story • What a story to tell • The first recorded traffic fatality was in New York in 1899 • By 1996, more than 3,000,000 traffic fatalities • Beginning in 1775 through May, 2003, approximately 700,000 battle deaths • More than a 6:1 ratio of traffic fatalities to battle deaths
Market Traffic Safety Story • What a story to tell • From 1991 – 2000, over 400,000 traffic related fatalities • From 1991 – 2000, slightly more than 200,000 homicides • More than a 2:1 ratio of traffic fatalities to homicides • Fatalities and injuries from traffic crashes are the NUMBER ONE PUBLIC SAFETY PROBLEM
Market Traffic Safety Story • What a story to tell • Make story personal (these are real people with real faces) • Economic costs (the enormous costs of traffic crash deaths, injuries, and property damage)
Market Traffic Safety Data • IT will reduce to time to collect safety data • IT will improve the quality of the safety data • IT will improve the management of safety data • IT will facilitate the linkage of safety data • IT will facilitate the sharing of safety data • It will facilitate the analyses of safety data • WITH FEWER HUMAN RESOURCES
Market Traffic Safety Data • Remove Institutional Barriers
