NHTSA: GO Teams
NHTSA’s Traffic Records GO Team program helps States improve their traffic records systems by deploying tailored technical assistance and training based on States’ actual needs. The program provides support from subject matter experts who work with the State’s traffic records professionals to improve a specific aspect of their traffic records data collection, management, or analysis capabilities.
Successful GO Team applications request specific technical assistance focusing on a discrete traffic records challenge or technical training need as identified by State traffic records program managers. States are encouraged to submit GO Team requests that address a specific traffic records improvement need, either highlighted during a State’s traffic records assessment or identified by the State’s Traffic Records Coordinating Committee (TRCC) and Highway Safety Office.
