In the event someone comes to this page via a search for
What is NHTSA?:
From our
presentation:"In September 1966, President Lyndon Johnson signed the
National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act and the
National Highway Safety Act. These established the authority to develop both the
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and the National Traffic Safety Agency (currently known as the
NHTSA). As part of signing the legislation President Johnson stated that "auto accidents are the biggest cause of death and injury among Americans under 35". In 1965, 50,000 people were killed on the nations highways in auto accidents."
From the
NHTSA website: NHTSA was established by the Highway Safety Act of 1970 to carry out safety programs previously administered by the National Highway Safety Bureau. Specifically, the agency directs the highway safety and consumer programs established by the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966, the Highway Safety Act of 1966, the 1972 Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act, and succeeding amendments to these laws.
