NTSB

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is an independent U.S. government agency dedicated to enhancing transportation safety across all modes, including aviation, highway, marine, and rail. Established by the Air Commerce Act of 1926, the NTSB conducts thorough investigations and safety studies aimed at preventing future accidents. Comprising five presidentially-nominated Board Members, it advocates for the implementation of critical safety recommendations and provides assistance to victims and families affected by transportation disasters.

NTSB's diverse offerings include accident data analysis, statistical reviews, and safety research reports that inform the public and policymakers. Based in Washington, D.C., with regional offices in Colorado, Washington, and Alaska, the agency employs around 400 professionals committed to its mission of making transportation safer. Through a structured approach to investigations, safety advocacy, and community engagement, the NTSB plays a vital role in creating a safer transport environment for everyone.
