Not in Traffic Surveillance (NiTS) Publications & Data
Not in Traffic Surveillance incidents can fall into a variety of categories, some are crashes (which occur in private driveways) and some are incidents (occupant getting caught in a power window, hyper/hypothermia, etc.). The SCI program is actively pursuing NITS crashes from its network of sources to provide in-depth information on the particulars of the incident or crash.
