NTSB expands accident reports online

By Janice Wood · June 2, 2009 ·

The National Transportation Safety Board now releases all accident investigation public dockets to the NTSB public website, NTSB.gov, beginning June 1, 2009, in accordance with the NTSB Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Improvement Plan.

The move serves to further bring the NTSB into compliance with a number of legislative and executive
mandates aimed at improving the U.S. government’s use of electronic media to foster a more open and transparent government.

To access the NTSB’s public dockets, go to the FOIA Electronic Reading Room on the NTSB website and select the list of dockets that are organized by transportation mode. The link to the list of
public dockets may be found here: NTSB.gov/Info/foia_fri-dockets.htm

For more information: 202-314-6551, 800-877-6799 or [email protected].
