Electronic Submissions
Georgia Electronic Accident Reporting System

Electronic Submissions Process Overview

Before your Agency can submit accident reports electronically to the State of Georgia through the GEARS program, you must request and receive your GEARS system Agency ID and password.
Use the short form below to request your ID and password.  Your ID and password will be delivered to you by email.

In addition to electronic submissions through GEARS for Accident Reporting, Courtware is working diligently on an electronic submissions process for UCR reporting.

Is your Agency interested in submitting UCR data electronically to the State when this service becomes available?
 
 
 

 
 

Step 2 - Configure Your NRMS Software with GEARS Login

 
Once you receive your GEARS Agency ID and password from Open Portal Solutions, you will want to enter this information in your NRMS software on the Systems Administration / State Reporting tab.  Click here for  training video.

 

  1. Reporting Format:   Select OPS GEARS
     
  2. Send Electronically:   Select YES
     
  3. Login ID:   Enter your Agency ID for GEARS system
     
  4. Login Password:   Enter your GEARS password
     
  5. Start Date:   Select begin date for GEARS submissions (note: reports created before the GEARS start date you select will not be submitted electronically)
     
  6. Send on Approval: If you select YES for this option, your accident reports will automatically be submitted to GEARS immediately upon report approval (when approved on the server version of NRMS.  Mobile GEARS submissions are not yet available.)

Step 3 - Submitting Your Accident Report Electronically

 
Once you have completed step 1 and step 2 above (initial setup), you will be able to quickly and easily submit your accident reports electronically.

Automatic Electronic Submission on Report Approval:
 

If you selected the option to send your reports on approval in step 2 above (line 6), then your accident reports will be submitted one at a time, real-time, immediately upon 'approval'.  If you choose this type of submission, please make sure that your reports are COMPLETE and ACCURATE before approval, including accident diagram.

Manual Electronic Submission of Reports:

If you have NOT configured your NRMS system to submit reports automatically upon approval, or if you want to re-send a report, then you may submit individually or in batch at any time from your NRMS system under the Agency Menu / State Crash Reporting (lower left navigation buttons in NRMS).

Simply select the reports that you wish to send that are 'ready to transmit' and click on the [Send Now] button.  Your reports will be sent and any GEARS errors/notifications will be retrieved.
