National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB)

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is an independent U.S. government agency responsible for investigating transportation incidents, including plane crashes, train derailments, and highway accidents. Its main goals are to determine the causes of these events and recommend safety improvements to prevent future accidents. The NTSB plays a crucial role in enhancing transportation safety by analyzing data, conducting investigations, and issuing reports with findings and recommendations. It also advocates for changes in laws and regulations based on its investigations to promote public safety across all modes of transportation.
