Initiatives and Programs
The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CT DOT) developed a Connecticut Uniform Police Crash Report (PR-1) to address a federally recognized need to modernize the State’s crash reporting system. The goal was to align Connecticut's system with national crash data guidelines, known as Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria Guideline (MMUCC), and to leverage efficiencies gained with electronic reporting. Additionally, a Connecticut Uniform Fatal Crash Supplement (PR-2) is also provided for law enforcement.
The bullets provided below are links that will direct you to various resources on this initiative as well as other related programs on crash data collection.
