NTSB

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is an independent U.S. government agency responsible for investigating transportation accidents across the country, including aviation, highway, rail, marine, and pipeline incidents. Its goal is to determine the causes of accidents, improve safety standards, and prevent future incidents. The NTSB does not have regulatory authority but provides essential recommendations based on thorough investigations. By analyzing data, collecting evidence, and consulting experts, the agency helps enhance transportation safety and informs policymakers, industry stakeholders, and the public about safety improvements.
