Michigan Crash Facts 101

Join us for Michigan Crash Facts 101 in this virtual session on May 11 from 4-5pm.

This webinar will cover the Michigan Traffic Crash Facts (MTCF) website, which provides users with annual official Michigan crash data. There are two sections to the website: the Publications section that contains crash data statistics dating back to 1952; and the Data Query Tool, which allows users to perform advanced searches.

In March 2020 the Governor’s Traffic Safety Advisory Commission honored MTCF with the “Richard H. Austin Long-Term Service Award” for long-term contributions and commitment to traffic safety.

Presenters: Jessica Riley (Michigan’s Office of Highway Safety Planning) and Patrick Bowman (University of Michigan)

Our session leaders are experts in the field. The Office of Highway Safety Planning and the University of Michigan have been working together for 27 years to assist traffic safety individuals and agencies need to access traffic crash data to identify and analyze problems, implement countermeasures, and evaluate impact to improve safety on Michigan roadways.  Through this partnership we have been able to assist traffic safety advocates, planners, and the public with a website (https://www.michigantrafficcrashfacts.org/#), presentations to Action Teams and Traffic Safety Networks, bicyclist analysis reports and data trends have been produced, and continue growth based on feedback from our partners.
