Background: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is responsible for reducing deaths, injuries and economic losses resulting from motor vehicle crashes. Researchers need many sources of information to adequately measure the characteristics of the highway safety environment. NHTSA data are essential to reducing the human and economic cost of motor vehicle crashes. NHTSA's various data systems are the only source of real-world crash data for conducting basic research, identifying problem areas, developing effective countermeasures, identifying program and rulemaking needs, developing and evaluating programs, rules, and standards, evaluating new technologies, and providing information to accurately assess and allocate grants for reducing crashes. In the late 1970s, NHTSA's National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA) devised a multidisciplinary approach to meet the data needs of our end users that utilizes an efficient combination of census, sample-based, and existing State files to provide nationally representative traffic crash data on a timely basis. NHTSA's NCSA operates data programs consisting of records-based systems (crash records recoded for uniformity) which include the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and the Crash Report Sampling System (CRSS); and detailed crash investigation-based systems which include the Crash Investigation Sampling System (CISS) and the Special Crash Investigations (SCI) program. Objective: The objective of this contract is to provide timely, efficient, and effective support to NHTSA, and its partners, in the development of a comprehensive web design for NCSA crash data sets and data query tools to educate public users of NHTSA data.
