The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is seeking industry feedback on its draft strategic plan for Fiscal Years 2018-2022, in order to ensure that the agency is “taking the right approach to advancing the mission of improving transportation safety.”

The Strategic Plan reflects the NTSB’s priorities for advancing the mission of improving transportation safety by setting three priority strategic goals:

1. Safety Leadership: We will continue to serve as a global leader in independent accident investigations, products, and services essential to transportation safety.
2. Engagement: We will engage external stakeholders to advance transportation safety.
3. Synergy: We will promote agency teamwork, innovation, and engagement to optimize operations.

Timeline

Comments must be received on or before November 30, 2017. The agency anticipates submitting the plan to Congress in December 2017.

The NTSB 2018-2022 Draft Strategic Plan is available at the following Web address: https://www.ntsb.gov/about/Documents/FY2018-2022-StrategicPlan-stakeholder-engagement.pdf
