Introduction The NM Traffic Records Strategic Plan (Plan) is a multiyear planning document, updated annually, with the purpose of setting the framework for improving all aspects of a comprehensive statewide traffic records system (STRS). The Plan identifies the goals, objectives, and actions needed to improve the accuracy, completeness, integration, timeliness, uniformity, and accessibility of data used for statistical and analytical reports and most importantly providing information to decisions makers to positively affect direction and policy. The Plan acts as the guiding document for the Statewide Traffic Records Coordinating Committee (STRCC), a body composed of members from different stakeholders involved in collecting and using data related to road and highway safety and infrastructure. The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) Traffic Records Program maintains the Statewide Traffic Records System (STRS) website which includes program overview, STRCC schedule of future meetings, past meetings with minutes, projects, resources and other traffic records information. The website is available at: http://nmtrafficrecords.com/. 1.1 Major Accomplishments and Recap Summary of FFY17-FFY19 (See Traffic Core Systems for more in-depth information) Statewide Traffic Records Management • Traffic Records Coordinating Committee Management - The Lead Agency, NMDOT has established a formal Traffic Records Coordinator (TR Coordinator) contractor and has defined a role for these coordination efforts. This along with other recommendations were identified in the 2015 NHTSA NM TRCC Performance Assessment, Traffic Records GO Team Report available at http://nmtrafficrecords.com/ resources/nm-go-team-final-report/. The TR Coordinator, in collaboration with DOT Management and STRCC, provides the coordination necessary to develop, implement, and monitor the TR Strategic Plan. The STRCC has scheduled regular meetings and serves as a meaningful forum of coordination among stakeholders to address programs, challenges, and investments. • Strategic Planning - The STRCC has documented the process undertaken in developing the Strategic Plan. The STRCC utilized the 2016 Traffic Records Assessment, conducted by NHSTA, as a foundation to identify traffic records deficiencies (items that do not meet) and accomplishments. The STRCC provides the leadership and coordination necessary to develop, implement, and monitor the TR Strategic Plan. • Data Use & Integration - Data integration and exchange occurs between the following stakeholder agencies: LEA to DOT-Crash, LEA – MVD-Citation, LEA – Courts (Citation/Adjudication), Courts –MVD (Abstracts), & SFPD and the District Attorney’s Office, & DOT-Crash-EMS/IS Vital Records (Death Certs) TraCS Support & Expansion • Citation/Crash Data Uniformity & Accessibility: Application Support - The TraCS Team continued to provide ongoing development of TraCS Forms to include all necessary updates to fields, including validation rules and licensing for Traffic and Criminal Software, Incident Locator Tool, and Easy Street Draw. • Citation/Crash Data Completeness: Maintenance and Support - User help desk support was provided to Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs), as well as, Project Management services. • Citation/Crash Data Completeness &Uniformity: Equipment – Assisted with the purchase and deployment of hardware and peripherals which allow and facilitate the use of Traffic and Criminal Software by supported agencies. 4 NM TR STRATEGIC PLAN 2020 – 2022 • Citation/Crash Data Uniformity & Accessibility: Software Expansion – The TraCS (eCitation and Crash Reports) expansion included a total of 30 additional Law Enforcement Agencies between 2017 and 2019, in both the DPS Model and Non-DPS Model. The TraCS DPS Model is a hosted service provided by the New Mexico Department of Public Safety (DPS). This hosted service provides the backend infrastructure which includes servers, storage, network connectivity and maintenance/support. The Non DPS TraCS Model, refers to “stand alone agencies”, that prefer to purchase their own servers, storage and support for the TraCS Model. • Citation/Crash Data Integration & Accessibility: Data Integration and Exchange – New Mexico TraCS configuration was designed to integrate with databases owned by our stakeholders at the Motor Vehicle Division (Tapestry), Administrative Office of the Courts (Odyssey), and others capable of receiving electronic data. Crash System • Crash Data Accuracy - Increased the percentage of pedestrian crash records that have pedestrians identified correctly by 13 percent (62% in 4/1/2015-3/31/2016 to75% in 4/1/2016-3/31/2017) for crash reports that are manually data entered (state) (annual). • Crash Data Accuracy, Timeliness & Accessibility - Reduced the time to analyze data and make available the NMDOT Annual Crash report from 19 months for the 2014 file to 15 months for the 2015 file by refining data merging techniques (state) (annual data). • Crash Data Timeliness - Increased the percentage of crash data transferred directly from law enforcement agencies to the State crash database from 47% from 4/1/2016 to 3/31/2017 to 55% from 4/1/2017 to 3/31/2018. • Crash Data Accuracy, Timeliness & Accessibility - DOT Crash Division via the UNM database began receiving electronically transmitted Crash data from Law Enforcement Agencies. As of April 2019, a total of 99,560 reports have been transmitted. • Crash Data Completeness & Uniformity – The Uniform Crash Report has been completed and is scheduled for deployment in 2019. A crash report training curriculum has been developed to improve current usage and standardization with the goal of improving the quality and consistency of data collection in the field. Revisions to the crash report include additional recommended MMUCC elements. Roadway Data • Roadway Data Accuracy, Completeness & Uniformity - ARNOLD replaced the Transportation Information Management System (TIMS). Implementation of ARNOLD includes the FHWA expanded requirements for the LRS network and provides state highway agencies a geospatially enabled public roadway network used to locate crashes that are not on the state-maintained highway system. Driver & Vehicle • Driver & Vehicle Integration - The State of New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division successfully implemented a FAST software solution in 2016 (drivers in May 2015; vehicles in September 2016. New Mexico’s Motor Vehicle Division Driver services and Vehicle services (DSVS) software (in New Mexico known as Tapestry) has provided a platform from which the Motor Vehicle Division has been able to expand on its outstanding customer service to citizens and stakeholders of New Mexico. • Vehicle Bar Code Accuracy, Timeliness & Completeness – New Mexico MVD has implemented the Vehicle Registration Barcode effective January 2019. This will allow law enforcement
