NTSB STATE MOST WANTED RECOMMENDATIONS TOPIC OF BOARD MEETING

The meeting will focus on a discussion of the NTSB's "Most Wanted List" of safety improvements - a series of recommendations the Safety Board has issued to the States over the past few years. The Board will evaluate how responsive the States have been to its recommendations.

The State Most Wanted list has six issue areas:

* Improved Child Occupant Protection - Paul Schlamm
* School Buses at Grade Crossings - Paul Schlamm
* Primary Seat Belt Laws - Terry Williams
* Hard Core Drinking Driving - Ted Lopatkiewicz
* Youth Highway Safety - Keith Holloway
* Recreational Boating Safety - Keith Holloway

The Most Wanted List was established in 1990 as a way for the Safety Board to focus attention on needed safety improvements in all modes of transportation. The list highlights recommendations that, if implemented, the Safety Board believes will have a significant impact on reducing deaths and injuries.
