National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Budget Overview of FY 2009 Congressional Submission

摘要

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) continues to make transportation safety its highest priority. The agency requests $851 million to continue its mission to save lives, prevent injuries, and reduce economic costs due to road traffic crashes, through education, research, safety standards, and enforcement activity. In December 2007, the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 was signed into law. It requires NHTSA to undertake several efforts in addition to its current fuel economy activities and mandates timelines for their completion.
