One of the critical elements of a strong DMC initiative is ensuring that information about disparities is avaialable. The Haywood Burns Institute, the leading resource on reducing DMC, has just created and made available an interactive state-by-state map that displays critical DMC data – at this point the site relies on data reported by the core DMC reduction sites (Rock, Dane, Milwaukee, Brown, Kenosha, and Racine counties) through 2007.
