    NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD An Independent Federal agency Testimony of the Honorable Christopher A. Hart Chairman National Transportation Safety Board Before the Subcommittee on Transportation and Public Assets and Subcommittee on Government Operations Committee on Oversight and Government Reform United States House of Representatives on A Safe Track?: Oversight of WMATA’s Safety and Maintenance Washington, DC December 2, 2016 Good morning Chairman Mica, Chairman Meadows, Ranking Member Duckworth, Ranking Member Connolly, and the Members of the Subcommittees. Thank you for inviting the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) to testify before you today. The NTSB is an independent federal agency charged by Congress with investigating every civil aviation accident and significant incidents in the United States and significant accidents and incidents in other modes of transportation—rail, highway, marine and pipeline. The NTSB determines the probable cause of accidents and other transportation events and issues safety recommendations aimed at preventing future accidents. In addition, the NTSB carries out special studies concerning transportation safety, and coordinates the resources of the federal government and other organizations assisting victims and their family members who are impacted by major transportation disasters. Since its inception, the NTSB has investigated more than 400 railroad accidents, including rail transit accidents. On call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, NTSB investigators travel throughout the country and internationally to investigate significant accidents and develop factual records and safety recommendations with one aim—to help ensure that such accidents never happen again. History of Oversight of WMATA In order to discuss the current safety oversight challenges regarding the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA), it is important to understand the statutory history that has led to the current state.
