Lessons learned and lives saved: 1967-2007

To help mark the National Transportation Safety Board's (NTSB) 40th anniversary, this report highlights some of the thousands of transportation safety improvements that have resulted from NTSB accident investigations and recommendations. Accidents have been prevented, lives saved and injuries reduced because of NTSB inspired safety advances in all modes of transportation: aviation, highway, marine, railroad and pipeline. This report also gives a brief history of the Safety Board, its responsibilities, and the legislation that created it, that strengthened its independence, and that has expanded its safety role over the years. This report includes information on the "Most Wanted List." The list focuses on additional safety advances the Safety Board strongly believes are needed to further increase transportation safety.
