USDOT Safety Data Initiative

Understanding a challenge helps overcome it. At the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), we’re using data to identify safety challenges and find solutions that can save lives. Our Safety Data Initiative (SDI) seeks to advance our ability to:

- Integrate existing data and new “big data” sources
- Use advanced data analytics to provide new insights into transportation safety risks
- Create data visualizations to help policymakers arrive at safety solutions
