Statewide Traffic Records Advisory Committee (STRAC)

What is The Colorado STRAC?

The Colorado Statewide Traffic Records Advisory Committee (STRAC) is an advisory group representing the data records interests of motor vehicle traffic and safety agencies and organizations. Within statutory constraints, the Committee recommends policies regarding the retention and dissemination of traffic records information.

Our Vision

The Vision of the STRAC is to provide a traffic records data system, which delivers complete, timely and accurate data, incorporating data from available sources, for use by data consumers in traffic safety planning, process development and decision making to eliminate transportation system fatalities and serious injuries.

Our Mission

To eliminate transportation system fatalities and serious injuries, the STRAC will advance the interagency and intra-agency acquisition and disbursement of accurate, timely and accessible traffic records to data consumers for use in the traffic safety improvement process.

Our Goals

Strategic Planning

The Colorado Traffic Records Strategic Plan serves as the primary roadmap for the State Traffic Records Advisory Committee (STRAC) and Colorado's traffic safety stakeholders. Developed using insights from the 2019 Traffic Records Assessment and ongoing member collaboration, the plan establishes a clear framework for improving the collection, management, and coordination of statewide traffic data. By defining specific goals and performance measures, this plan guides the development of projects designed to enhance public safety and modernize Colorado's data systems.
