National Traffic Safety Agency proposal aims for uniform standards
The proposal by Congressman Mackay would create a National Traffic Safety Agency under the Department of Commerce to promote uniform driver education licensing accident reporting and road safety research. It would not seize state control but would fund up to 30 percent of costs for states joining the national program and set national safety standards. Data on fatalities and accidents show auto travel far riskier per mile than rail road or air travel.
