Short Description
IDOT’s electronic crash reporting percentage from Illinois law enforcement agencies is currently
at 95%, with 5% being paper crash reports. In order to help increase the reporting percentage, Illinois was awarded funding from NHTSA to help move law enforcement agencies submitting paper crash reports to electronic reporting. A major portion of this grant is to help these agencies purchase laptops in order to start the process of submitting their crash reports to IDOT electronically.
