Community Maps 
Community Maps provides Wisconsin's local law enforcement and Traffic Safety Commissions with an online interface for visualizing and mapping crash data. Fatal crash locations are mapped from 2001 to the present. The Transportation Information Center updates the site with data from the Daily Fatality Report and maps the fatal crash locations as more information becomes available. Local users are invited to map injury and property damage crashes within their jurisdictions.

Public search options include text and graphical search options, with marker and density-map options for displaying results. Advanced tools provide additional search capabilities, ability to download search results data, and generate digital "spot maps". Admin users can map, upload, and manage their crash data across private and public folders. The site uses the Google Maps API, which provides a familiar map interface.

Community Maps is operated in partnership between the TOPS Lab and the Wisconsin LTAP Transportation Information Center at UW-Madison. Funding has been provided by the Wisconsin Traffic Records Coordinating Committee and the WisDOT Bureau of Transportation Safety.
