Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria

(hits: 3422 ) [8/5/2004]

Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria (MMUCC) are voluntary guidelines that were originally developed in response to requests by states interested in improving and standardizing their state crash data. When implemented at the state level, MMUCC provides a "minimum" set of data elements that are accurate, reliable, and credible within states, among states, and at the national level. The consistent crash data provided by the MMUCC guidelines plays a vital role in the work of professionals in highway safety, law enforcement, traffic records, injury prevention, traffic engineering and planning, emergency medicine, and others who share a stake in reducing traffic injuries and fatalities. More and more states have incorporated the MMUCC data elements into their crash reporting forms once they learn the benefits and see how easy it is to put into practice. MMUCC helps them collect reliable crash data, effectively guide enforcement planning, and shape sound traffic safety policy. This site offers a one-stop source for information on MMUCC and how you can put it to work to help save lives, reduce injuries and make our roadways safer.
