TxDOT’s CRIS database has crash-related information that can be queried by year and location. This data is typically acquired for the corridor planning analysis to determine crash concentrated areas. It is recommended to identify crash countermeasures to reduce the severity and number of crashes. For projects that need FHWA approval, obtain crash data through the CRIS helpdesk or TxDOT’s TRF Division. For projects that do not need FHWA approval, crash data can also be downloaded through the CRIS website. See

Appendix H, Section 1 – External References (Reference 9)

for a link to the CRIS website.
