NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is an independent federal agency responsible for investigating significant transportation accidents and determining their probable causes. The agency conducts investigations involving aviation, highway, railroad, marine, pipeline, transit, and commercial transportation incidents, issuing safety recommendations designed to prevent future accidents and improve transportation safety nationwide.
For student transportation professionals, NTSB investigations and safety recommendations provide valuable insight into crash prevention, vehicle safety, driver performance, emergency preparedness, and operational best practices. The agency's reports and recommendations have helped shape transportation safety policies and improve the safe transportation of passengers across the United States.
