Louisiana eCrash is the official statewide platform used for electronically capturing and submitting motor vehicle crash reports. This application was developed by the Center for Advanced Public Safety (CAPS) at the University of Alabama and is grant funded through the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission (LHSC) and the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD).
This statewide crash reporting application gives law enforcement agencies a standardized electronic way to submit crash reports to the state, improving the consistency and speed of crash data collection. The system receives crash data from agencies across Louisiana, supports daily processing of those reports, and makes the data available for statewide analysis and decision-making. By improving the timeliness and accuracy of crash reporting, the application helps transportation and public safety partners identify trends, target safety improvements, and ultimately save lives.
