FARS Case Management System Developments

2022 Final File Delayed

NHTSA FARS has announced that the 2022 FARS Data Collection deadline is being extended to 2024-03-15, Ordinarily a given year’s data file is closed late in the year following the crash year, and the data are released to the public early in the next year. We have no news on when to expect release of the 2022 FARS data, but it seems unlikely prior to the second quarter of 2024.
