Welcome to the Tribal Crash Data Reporting Tool, a comprehensive resource designed to facilitate the accurate and consistent reporting of crash data within Tribal communities. This guide is a result of collaborative efforts between the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), The Cher-Ae Heights Indian Community of the Trinidad Rancheria, and Qk4, Inc.

The Tribal Crash Data Reporting Tool (TCDRT) Program is a pioneering initiative that emerged from the shared commitment to enhancing road safety and traffic management in Tribal regions. In recognition of the unique challenges faced by Tribal communities, this program adopts data fields derived from the Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria 5th Edition, ensuring alignment with national standards while addressing the specific needs of Tribal contexts.

Developed with a focus on precision and consistency, the TCDRT aims to streamline the process of collecting, analyzing, and reporting crash data. By providing a standardized framework, Tribal authorities can contribute to a comprehensive understanding of traffic-related incidents, enabling informed decision-making and targeted interventions to improve road safety.

We extend our gratitude to all partners involved in the development of this program, recognizing the importance of collaboration in advancing the safety and well-being of Tribal communities. Whether you are a traffic safety professional, a data analyst, or a member of a Tribal government, this program serves as a valuable tool to navigate the complexities of crash data reporting within the unique context of Tribal lands. Together, let us work towards creating safer roads and fostering sustainable transportation solutions for Tribal communities across the nation.
