2.4: Advocacy
Advocacy Other Information:
Our staff, through their advocacy activities at the Federal and State levels, will press for the adoption of those recommendations
that the Board believes will have the most significant impact on improving transportation safety, including those on our Most
Wanted List of safety improvements. We will undertake an initiative to ensure that we take an efficient and effective approach
to our transportation safety advocacy efforts. In particular, this planning effort will help us to do two things well. First,
it will help us select the most important safety issues—those with the greatest potential to save lives—to be the focus of
our attention. This effort will require development of an objective approach to rating issues in terms of their potential
impact on transportation safety. Next, it will aid us in advocating for our high-priority issues using a formal, agency-wide
methodology. We will develop an advocacy plan that outlines a mix of public, congressional, government agency, and industry
activities that will increase the likelihood of positive change on a given safety issue.
