Introduction • Motor vehicle crashes are the cause of approximately 425 deaths and 4,500 serious injuries in Massachusetts each year. • These crashes cost Massachusetts approximately $6.3 billion annually.
Our Mission • Reduce fatalities, injuries and economic losses resulting from crashes through the analysis of traffic records data for problem identification, countermeasures selection, project evaluation and performance measurement.
MassTRAC-What is it? • The Massachusetts Traffic Records Analysis Center (MassTRAC) provides users with the ability to: • Perform key spatial and statistical analytic functions using crash, person and vehicle data. • Create map-based displays and perform spatial queries of crash locations. • Evaluate crash data and relate it to underlying road network characteristics. • Generate statistical summaries and tabulations of crash, person and vehicle characteristics. • Generate standard reports to be used in the development of various highway safety plans.
Data Sources • MassTRAC integrates data from a number of different sources: • Crash data (details, people, vehicles) from the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) • Citation and violation data from the Merit Rating Board and the RMV • Geographic information systems from MassGIS and ESRI • Demographics from the US Census
