18 Appendix C Information-Gathering by the Committee In the course of preparing this report, the committee held a public session as part of its first meeting in February 2013 to hear presentations from representatives of organizations involved in driving-safety research. The committee wishes to thank the following individuals for making presentations: Monique Evans, Tony Furst, and Jeff Michael, U.S. Department of Transportation; Jurek Grabowski, American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety; Shauna Hallmark, Institute for Transportation at Iowa State University; Jon Hankey, Virginia Tech Transportation Institute; Kelly Hardy, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials; and Neal Hawkins, Center for Transportation Research and Education at Iowa State University. Some of the presenters were joined by additional representatives of their respective organizations. The committee made use of a variety of documents and other sources of information, including three draft reports from the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center. 12 12 Volpe National Transportation Systems Center of the US DOT Research and Innovative Technology Administration, Cambridge, Massachusetts prepared three draft reports (each dated Jan. 2013) that were provided to the committee: Options for Long-Term Stewardship and Ownership of the SHRP 2 Safety Data; SHRP 2 Safety Data Stewardship Requirements Document; and SHRP 2 Safety Data Stewardship Environmental Scan: Case Studies.

On May 3, 2013, TRB’s Committee on the Long-Term Stewardship of Safety Data from the Second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) sent its first letter report to Victor Mendez, administrator of the Federal Highway Administration; David Strickland, administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration; and Bud Wright, executive director of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.

The letter report provides advice on the future administration of data now being collected as part of SHRP 2’s safety research program. The report highlights the importance of an effective and rapid transition from data collection to widespread data use by researchers, and includes recommendations related to transition planning in anticipation of the time when SHRP 2 comes to an end in 2015.

The committee that produced the report recommends a phased approach to the administration of the data, rather than entering into long-term agreements at this time based on insufficient information. The report discusses ownership, governance, and operation of the data during a first phase lasting about five years. As part of phase 1 planning and implementation to gain practical experience to inform long-term decision making, the committee recommends that potential user groups be identified, that rigorous estimates of cost elements for long-term implementation be obtained, and that evaluation criteria and a process for collecting lessons learned be established in ways that are not overly burdensome.
