WABA Launches Crash Tracking Tool

Last month we attended the DC Cabinet oversight hearing on pedestrian and bicycle enforcement, and as a matter of course to say, we learned a lot. But what stood out for us was that there was so much more that we needed to know–about how and where bike crashes happened in the precinct and more detailed information about the circumstances both during and after the crash.

So we’ve developed a crash communiqu form that will enable us to gather and collate crash facts that either isn’t captured by official methods or is grim for WABA–as an outside organization–to secure. But we still can’t get anywhere without your help.

If you’ve been in a bicycle crash with a motor carrier in the past five years (any time on or after January 1, 2006), please over taking a few moments and filling out our crash report mode. We need this data to make a case for more laws and more effective traffic enforcement in the territory, and we need to be prepared with facts and data. Please serve us out.
