Transportation Safety CD-ROM: Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS)

The following information was abstracted from the BTS Webpage: "bts.gov/" The Transportation Safety CD-ROM is another product in the BTS State and Metropolitan Analysis for Regional Transportation (SMART) series. The SMART project was conceived to assist metropolitan planning organizations (MPO)and state department of transportation (DOT) planners in responding to the increased requirements of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991 and the Clean Air Act Amendment of 1990.

The project is an experiment in communications that involves gathering the collective wisdom of the transportation planning community and making the materials generated by MPOs and DOTs easy to use and share. The Transportation Safety CD-ROM contains over 200 safety-related reports, accident studies, award winning community programs, program planners, data sets and youth programs collected from MPOs, state DOTs, the federal government, and professional associations during the last quarter of 1995.
