National Transportation Safety Organization

Established as one of the first transportation safety organizations in the United States of America in 1967 by more than 200 government and business leaders, the National Transportation Safety Organization (NTSO) is a globally recognized organization that is dedicated to advancing transportation safety.  NTSO addresses all modes of transportation, with a primary focus on road and aviation safety.  Our mission is to identify transportation safety trends that negatively impact society and develop solutions that can be implemented to save lives, prevent injuries, and improve mobility.

NTSO’s innovative work has earned both national and international recognition.  In 2008, it was named one of the “Top 50 Programs of the 2008 Innovations in American Government” by the Ash Center at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government.  A 2006 Federal Highway Administration report highlighted NTSO and the Road Commission for Oakland County as a national best practice in intersection safety strategies.

NTSO is proud that one of its focus areas, Oakland County, Michigan, has achieved one of the lowest traffic fatality rates in the world at 0.44 deaths per 100 million vehicle miles of travel.
