The National Transportation Safety Board is an independent federal agency charged by Congress with investigating civil aviation accidents in the United States and significant incidents across other transportation modes, including rail, transit, highway, marine, pipeline, and commercial space. Beyond investigations, it seeks to promote transportation safety and to assist victims of accidents and their families. Based in Frederick, Maryland, the agency operates as a mid-sized public safety entity within the transportation sector, producing findings and safety recommendations. A recent development involves a May 2026 partnership with Ride Fear Free, LLC to collaborate on safety initiatives.
