The National Transportation Safety Board relies on many external
databases when performing accident investigations, safety studies,
and special investigations. Most of these databases are sponsored
and operated by the modal administrations of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT). The Board's ability to study important safety
issues is often affected by poor data quality. The Board studied
transportation safety databases to evaluate data quality issues and
to encourage improvements in this area. The effort had four
specific objectives: (a) highlight the value and potential uses of
transportation safety data; (b) describe some accident and incident
databases commonly used by the Board; (c) summarize past Board
recommendations involving transportation data; and (d) evaluate
Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) efforts to establish data
quality standards, identify information gaps, and ensure
compatibility among the safety data systems maintained by the DOT.
