Federal Aid Route Maps
About Federal Aid Route Maps
The purpose of these maps is to identify routes that are eligible for release to local governments participating the debris memorandum of agreement program. In the event of a Federal Disaster Declaration, the routes that are highlighted in red receive federal reimbursements from the Federal Highway Administration and are not eligible for release to local governments that have executed debris Memorandums of Agreement (MOA) with the North Carolina Department of Transportation. Routes not highlighted in red receive federal reimbursements from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and are eligible for release.

Leveling Resources
These Microstation-J files are provided by the State Road Maintenance Unit Mapping Section. They are available in meters or feet, depending on your application. The metric version of the designfiles should have all data available for all counties, including plot elements such as legends, sheet cells, titles, etc. The metric designfiles also show greater detail (on the 4X insets) that do not get converted to the designfiles stored as stateplane feet. We are providing this data with no guarantee regarding the accuracy or completeness of the data. You should examine the Leveling Chart to understand the structure of the County Maps.
Convert Metric to English
Copy the seed file (SRMU_MS_ENGLISH_seed.dgn) to your local drive. Download a copy of the metric lin file that you need to your local drive with the seed file. Open the seed file; reference the metric lin from your local drive. In the reference dialog box under file, merge into master. This will make the conversion to English.

Crash Data
For more information about crashes and how NCDOT tracks this information, head over to the Performance Dashboard.
The Mobility and Safety Division in support of NCDOT Strategic and Executive Highway Safety Committee efforts has requested the assistance of NCDOT - State Road Maintenance Unit - Information & Mapping Section for the development and production of County Crash Distribution Profile Maps for NC. These visual representations of the distribution of 1) Fatal, 2) Fatal + A injury, and 3) Total Crashes provide a valuable overview for decision makers and managers who control limited safety resources.
These high level summary presentations immediately display regions that are experiencing higher frequencies of target type crashes. They provide a valuable reference place marker for subsequent data-driven efforts to identify specific corridors, and specific intersections that are shown to experience the crash types being researched. The first set of maps shows data from motor vehicle crashes. The second set of Safety Maps were produced for the Executive Committee for Highway Safety's Motorcycle Safety Committee - chaired by John Stokes of the Governor's Highway Safety Program. The third set of requested maps is focused on Commercial Motor Vehicle Crashes. Each set of maps is also displayed using "Per 1000 Population" criteria.
