    thingsorganizedneatly: SUBMISSION: I do crash safety research for the US Department of Transportation. We collect police reports of traffic accidents and analyze them as a group as well as investigate a select few in person. While it may not look like much, these eight stacks took eight hours to prepare. What you’re looking at is ~450 crash reports from the Chicago Police, representing about half of one day’s worth. Each accident has been categorized by severity from A-H and X-Z then sorted by location into the five Chicago jurisdictions and the one highway jurisdiction, with cover sheets listing each accident’s ID, time, date and category for easy retrieval later. The two extra piles are crashes that were selected for statistical study and crashes that will be sent to the Special Crash Investigations team in New York. These eight piles, combined with all the other piles my office and 24 more offices across the nation generate have helped to reduce the number of fatalities and severe injuries due to motor accidents by two thirds since our program started in 1979. I’m very proud of the work I do. WHAT THE WHAT. I got on Things Organized Neatly!
