The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) requires a set of performance metrics to include assessment of serious injuries in crashes.
The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Web-Only Document 302: Development of a Comprehensive Approach for Serious Traffic Crash Injury Measurement and Reporting Systems presents a roadmap for states to develop comprehensive crash-related data linkage systems, with special attention to measuring serious injuries in crashes.
