MTSU National Highway Transport Safety Administration Discussion

Transportation Agency Research Assignment:

You learned about the many government agencies that regulate and maintain safety for our different modes of transportation.

Chose an agency you want to know more about. THE FAA IS EXCLUDED FROM THIS LIST, I CHOSE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA)

Describe why you chose that agency (what interested you specifically).

• When was that agency enacted/established?

What is the purpose of that agency? Ensure you include the mode of transportation (i.e. safety, inspections, enforcement, etc.)? What do they do, why do they do it, where do they do it?

• Describe at least three interesting items/facts about this agency you discovered.
• Please write this in Times New Roman, 12-point font. You can write in paragraph form or a bullet point format.
