Fatal Accident Reporting System (FARS) Web-based Encyclopedia


Encouraging traffic safety and prevention through information: Using  the most recent Fatal crash data from SWITRS*, this site is to make California traffic data more accessible and valuable for prevention and safety purposes.
 



Source of Data:

The Traffic fatalities are based on data collected by the State of California through the California Highway Patrol in a data system named the Statewide Integrated Traffic Reporting System. SWITRS receives data from all police jurisdictions in the state on all traffic crashes.

Population Data used in making rates come from the State of California Department of Finance, Demographic Research Unit.

This web  site is produced by Peter Roeper, an Associate Research Scientist. He has received both a Masters in Education and Masters in Public Health from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Since 1992, Mr. Roeper has worked on issues related to alcohol and drinking and driving. He played a lead role in a major grant to reduce alcohol related trauma in different communities across the country. He became an expert in using and combining health data for both health research purposes and to facilitate the activities of community based organizations. Currently, in addition to doing research on underage drinking using large health data sets, Mr. Roeper is working directly with several different California communities as a consultant to reduce drinking and driving.  He provides this as a public service.  To contact go here.


Comments and suggestions on how to make the data more useful for traffic safety and prevention purposes  are very welcome.
