Coordinating Committee (STRCC)

The purpose of the State Traffic Records Coordinating Committee (STRCC) is to facilitate the coordination of efforts by traffic records entities that are involved in the initiation, storage and delivery of traffic records information. This coordination is essential in providing efficient and secure delivery of accurate, timely, uniform and complete information about traffic activity to all who need such information. Members of the STRCC sign and abide by a Memorandum of Commitment. 

The vision of the STRCC is to support the continuous reduction of traffic-related crashes, fatalities, and injuries in New Mexico. This is accomplished by facilitating cooperative human and agency resources, increasing technological capacities, and integrating existing data systems that can be used to perform analyses supporting the strategic and performance-based goals in the State Highway Strategic Plan (SHSP) and Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP).

Through a multi-agency coordination of effort, the STRCC’s mission is to develop and maintain a Statewide Traffic Records System (STRS) designed for electronic capture, processing, and dissemination of traffic-related records. There are six core information systems that make up the traffic records system: crash records, roadway inventory data, driver information, vehicle information, citation and adjudication records, and injury tracking information. The STRCC is committed to effectively implementing, continually improving, and integrating these six information systems to help achieve the goal of facilitating the timely sharing of accurate traffic records information across the State of New Mexico.

A goal of the STRCC is to assist decision-makers in making significant improvements in a minimum amount of time with the greatest level of efficiency. As an emphasis area within the SHSP, this goal supports New Mexico’s overarching goal of reducing traffic-related fatalities by 50 percent by the year 2030.

Jimmy Montoya, NMDOT Traffic Records Program Staff Manager, is the designated STRCC Coordinator.
