This should have been something engineers and transport experts in an independent transport safety board should have handled. 162, the agency’s mandate also includes conducting safety inspections on land, sea and air transportation and assessing existing practices and policies related to the transportation sector. I don’t understand why the last Congress, and apparently the present one, can’t seem to see the importance of transportation safety. I guess transportation safety isn’t sexy enough for lawmakers to discuss. An independent National Transportation Safety Board can do that.
