The National Transportation Safety Board will hold a public forum on truck and bus safety May 10-11 in Washington, D.C., to review the progress that has been made since the NTSB held a series of public hearings on the matter back in 1999-2000.
The forum will be chaired by NTSB Board Member Robert L. Sumwalt and will focus on such issues as government oversight, carrier operations, driver training and licensing, driver safety and health, and enhanced vehicle safety technologies.
"As evidenced by the recent tragic accidents in New York and New Jersey, there is still a lot of work to do in the area of highway safety," said NTSB member Sumwalt. "During this forum, we will review the effectiveness of established programs as well as new initiatives in motor carrier operations and vehicle safety to ensure we are doing all we can to make our nation's highways safer."
