Traffic Records Projects

Currently CRAB provides one license per county.  However, a number of counties have requested more than one license to enable their various staff to submit new records or provide updates to existing records.   This grant will fund the purchase of two licenses per county.  If a county does not need the second license, that license will be made available to another county that requests more than the base two licenses provided.

This project will address the requirement to improve Traffic Records data quality attributes by improving the uniformity of roadway data.

The RHINO program will continue to onboard and maintain emergency department data while continually working toward a goal of collecting 100 percent of non-federal emergency department visits. Additionally, we will work toward improving completeness of our data by establishing a data quality management process.

DOH will continue to work with the Office of Financial Management (OFM) to integrate RHINO data with other traffic injury surveillance datasets through the Traffic Records Integration Program (TRIP). This will include establishing a data sharing agreement, establishing a data governance framework and process, and provisioning of RHINO datasets for the project. This will improve integration of emergency department data with crash records and other dataset relevant to traffic injuries. This work will remove barriers to data sharing, enhance data quality assurance, increase timeliness of data analyses, and increase the number of traffic injury questions that can be answered than would be possible with the RHINO dataset alone.

Being able to effectively combine data elements with crash datasets from other agencies (such as WSDOT and WTSC) is essential for being able to fully analyze and assess traffic safety issues. As of October 2021, DOL has a fully staffed team of Data Stewards tasked with the goal of bringing DOL data to a governed state. However, the team is constrained by not having funds to purchase a data catalog and therefore, currently rely upon numerous less-effective tools to organize and store data. With a data catalog, the team could continue classifying business data elements, their metadata, and practice more effective vocabulary management within a platform built specifically for this purpose. Further, a data catalog would allow DOL to better monitor, assess, and record data quality dimension metrics and work towards resolution of issues. As DOL’s data quality improves, so do the contributions to traffic safety through reporting and open data, benefiting organizations and individuals of Washington state and beyond.

The WaTech JINDEX Support Services are provided by a highly skilled team dedicated to providing world-class application support to Washington State Patrol (WSP) and the eTRIP Committee. The JINDEX Support Team is responsible for maintenance and operations of the system. This team ensures electronic traffic citations and collision tickets are exchanged with eTrip partner agencies and back to the local Law Enforcement Agency which created the ticket. The purpose of this project is to recruit, train, and maintain a secondary JINDEX/MS BizTalk Administrator.

WSP intends to contract with the Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) and Technology Enterprise Group, Inc. (TEG), who maintains the core Traffic and Criminal Software (TraCS) application for assistance in implementing and configuring the application to support the Washington Traffic Safety Commission (WTSC) Traffic Records Program (TRP) business needs. The purpose of this project is to effectively plan and transition the stakeholder organizations and personnel to the desired future state, using TraCS. This will be done by:

•            Assessing the project’s impact on the stakeholder organizations,
•            Collaborating with the traffic records community stakeholders to manage the change introduced by this project,
•            Assessing the readiness of the user organizations and individual users to accept changes to the new TraCS working environments,
•            Identifying, describing, and planning for necessary actions to facilitate those changes,
•            Reducing resistance to change using various communication tools,
•            And reducing the overall impact on stakeholder operations.
