Keep this document handy for reference in using the portal, both while you learn how to use it and while you teach it to others. Getting Started To use the Alabama Safety Portal, you should go to https://safetyportal.aladata.com on your browser of choice. The following screen will appear. Once there, log into the portal using your username and password combination (both of these items are case- sensitive). When you have logged in, you should see the portal, which looks like the image on the next page. 4 Different Parts of the Portal Dashboard - Contains search criteria - Different types of search criteria o Date – contains the range of dates that the data is being pulled from o Filters – contains different limiting factors (geographic divisions, types of roads, special vehicles, external influences, etc.) ▪ Custom filters also housed here – will cover later o Variables – items on a crash report that can be counted and sorted ▪ Codes – information within each variable ▪ Counts – total amount of results under each code Search - Allows you to limit their results based on date range, road and milepoint markers, links and nodes, and variables o Allows you to be more specific in searches of the database Drill Down - Takes variables and allows you to pare down results into smaller amounts for more digestible results o More direct method of moving from a large set of data to a small set of data using the information from crash reporting Cross Tab - Allows you to create a table based on two variables, with the option to apply filters to limit the amount of results found o Comparison of two different variables allows for trend analysis of specific crash data 5 Manage Custom Filters - Custom Filters that can be created via the Search tab are housed here for editing, renaming, and sharing purposes Getting a feel for the Portal Dashboard The variable box allows for the variable to be changed for each individual chart. The binocular button allows The excel button allows for you to search for specific the data to be sent directly keywords in variables. to Excel. The arrow button allows for The chart button allows the the chart to be expanded to user to change how the fit the full screen. data is visualized. Searching for Variables When doing a portal search, you might need to find all variables with a common trait. To do this, you can use the button on the dashboard to search for specific keywords inside of variables. For example, if you wanted to find all instances of the word “deer” inside of a variable, you should first click the button. Then, you should type in the word “deer” into the search box, like so. 6 Then, press the search button and a list of variables that have a result containing the word “deer” should appear in a list. These results will be beneficial when you are looking to create custom filters, as well as trying to narrow down your data into specific subsets by using specific keywords. 7 Using the Selection Criteria To start, here is the interface that you will see when using the dashboard function inside of the portal. The date range box allows the user to limit the range of their data in the search. The variable box includes the variables that appear The filter boxes

  • Governor Awards $4.1 Million to Install Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Thursday, June 10, 2021 Governor awards $4.1 million to install electric vehicle charging stations MONTGOMERY —Gov. Kay Ivey has awarded 18 grants to help bring Alabama motorists into the electric vehicle age. The grants totaling more than $4.1 million will help finance the installation of electric vehicle charging stations at many fueling stations near interstates and other major highways and corridors in central and north Alabama. Other types of businesses and public entities were also eligible for awards. “We have begun the journey of transforming vehicles operated by fossil fuels into those powered by electricity, and it’s important that motorists be able to charge their vehicles when traveling along the interstate and other major highways in Alabama” Gov. Ivey said. “Many of the vehicles manufactured right here in Alabama plants have already begun this transition, and it is exciting to come onboard with these projects to support these vehicles as they become more readily available and more Alabamians choose to drive them.” The grants will be used to fund up to 80 percent of the cost of the charging stations. Funds for the projects came from the Volkswagen Settlement Plan and the Alabama Legislature. The VW settlement arose from an agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regarding VW’s violation of the federal Clean Air Act. Alabama was among states receiving settlement funds. The Interstate-20 corridor from the Alabama-Georgia border to Tuscaloosa was outlined in the Alabama Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Plan as the ideal site for charging stations. The plan, which outlines goals and priorities for establishing charging stations in Alabama, cited I-20 as a priority because of its link to Atlanta and because that area of Alabama, which includes the populous Jefferson County metro area, has the highest concentration of electric vehicles in the state.
