Transportation Safety Most Wanted List
The National Safety Transportation Board (NSTB) held a meeting last Thursday to review its Most Wanted List of safety improvements. The NSTB Safety Most Wanted list calls for action by federal agencies and state governments on the most critical transportation safety issues.
The Most Wanted List was developed in 1990 to focus attention on safety improvements the Board believes will have the greatest impact on transportation safety. Some of the issues to be reviewed this year include: runway incursions, flight crew resource management, positive train control, medically unqualified commercial drivers, operator fatigue, and collision prevention through advanced automobile technology.
An online brochure (pdf), listing the most wanted safety improvements is available at: http://www.ntsb.gov/Recs/brochures/MostWanted_2008.pdf
More information in general is available at: http://www.ntsb.gov/Recs/mostwanted/index.htm
