TRIP’s primary goal is to develop and maintain a data repository for public safety research which integrates data from six core areas – crash, vehicle, driver, roadway, citation and adjudications, and injury surveillance – with crash records providing the foundation for linking pre- and post-crash data.

Which form do I use to request data from TRIP?

Our primary goal of this project is to develop the TRIP repository which will integrate data from six core areas – crash, vehicle, driver, roadway, citation and adjudications, and injury surveillance - with crash records providing the foundation for linking pre- and post-crash data. By linking these sources, the state will have a comprehensive crash-outcome dataset to support federal reporting requirements and traffic safety research. We provide cross-sector, linked data and analysis through the TRIP data warehouse.

How do I complete a data request?

First time requesting data from TRIP? Review our privacy considerations and data approval process.

Traffic Records Integration Program data is open to the public which can be requested for research use. Data requested through TRIP may not be used for-profit research. Please submit the data request form to the TRIP inbox based on the data that best fits your needs and the TRIP Variable request form.

The TRIP program team leverages the TRIP repository data to conduct collision-related research to measure trends related to collisions and collision outcomes, identify factors related to collisions and their outcomes, and inform the design and measure the impact of roadway and vehicle safety improvements, enhanced traffic law enforcement measures, and public awareness campaigns.

The Traffic Records Integration Program team

In 2019, the Washington Traffic Safety Commission awarded OFM’s Forecasting and Research Division with a grant to manage the Washington State Traffic Records Integration Program (TRIP).

The Traffic Records Integration Program (TRIP) is an effort to develop and maintain a data repository for public health and safety research to further the goals of the Vision Zero 2030 to achieve zero fatalities or serious injuries on our roads.

OFM Forecasting and Research is uniquely positioned as a source for data, research, and statistical analyses to inform decisions by the Governor, the legislature, other state agencies, research communities, and the public.
