ACTAR was founded by and exists for the benefit of the traffic accident investigation and reconstruction community. The Commission is not obligated to nor controlled by any governmental body or agency. Since its incorporation in 1991, the ongoing goal of ACTAR has been to promote, within the legal and scientific community, recognition that an ACTAR Accredited Traffic Accident Reconstructionist has demonstrated competence with respect to the minimum training standards established by the NHTSA study. Incorporation of new developments in technology and industry trends assures the accreditation process is fresh and up to date.
