| Abstract | According to World Health Organization (2018). road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death for children and young adults (5-29 years of age), highlighting the importance of safer campus roads. Moreover, it has articulated the importance of utilizing reliable and valid evidence in the formulation of road safety policies and programs to avoid wasting limited resources on measures that are not effective and have minimal impact (WHO, 2018). In 2008, U.P. Diliman's Office of the Vice-Chancellor for Community Affairs (OVCCA), in cooperation with Automobile Association Philippines (AAP) and National Center for Transportation Studies (NCTS), implemented the U.P.

This study aimed to evaluate the quality of road crash data and its utilization in improving road safety in the U.P. Diliman. Towards this end, the researcher documented the road crash reporting and recording process of the U.P. Diliman Police (UPDP). The road crash data recorded by the UPDP was compared with the Campus Safety and Mobility Office (CSMO) of the Ateneo de Manila University (AdMU). which records road crashes in AdMU. Besides being the second largest campus in Metro Manila in terms of land, AdMU has an established office mandated to enforce and develop proper campus safety and mobility programs. For this reason, the researcher identified it as a proper fit for comparison. In addition, the data collected by the UPDP was evaluated for conformity of the road crash data with what is recorded at the regional and national levels as conducted by the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). The researcher also analyzed the road crash data from the |
