The Crash Consistency Overriding Indicator evaluates 12 months of data to determine your State’s rating. A record is evaluated if the date of the initial upload falls within that 12-month range. As shown below, the range begins 15 months before the evaluation month, but excludes the most recent three months of records. These records were used to calculate the leading indicator, which forecasts where measures may be trending.

In the example, the January 2019 evaluation looked at the 12-month event date range November 1, 2017, through October 31, 2018. Crashes that were uploaded after October 31, 2018 were used to calculate the leading indicator.

This indicator evaluates non-fatal crash records representing interstate, intrastate, and non-motor carriers, and includes large trucks and buses.

The rating percentage is determined by dividing the number of non-fatal crash records in the current evaluation period by the average number of non-fatal crash records in the previous 3 years. If the percentage of non-fatal crash records reported is

• 50% or more, your State is NOT FLAGGED
• Less than 50%, your State is RED-FLAGGED.
• Less than 50%, AND there are fewer than 15 records in the current evaluation period, AND there are fewer than 15 records in the previous three year average, the rating is INSUFFICIENT DATA.

Note: States that have an obvious and significant decline in non-fatal crash record reporting will be categorized as Poor in the Overall State Rating and the Crash Rating, without regard to their rating in other measures.
