New Data Collection Pilot Information
The Motor Vehicle Administration has developed a more user-friendly method for collecting the BTW tracking data that will no longer involve complex spreadsheets but will instead utilize a 5-question form that is accessed electronically and that will compile and store data in a central database. This system is currently being piloted by several schools and we anticipate starting a general rollout in early May. This is dependent upon the results of the pilot program and any necessary adjustment.
