The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is taking steps to improve safety in crashes involving passenger vehicles and large trucks and trailers.<\/p>\n

The NHTSA has announced 16 members of a new Advisory Committee on Underride Protection, which will make recommendations to the Secretary of Transportation on safety regulations related to underride crashes that have caused severe injury and death.<\/p>\n

\u201cSafety is at the core of everything we do,\u201d said NHTSA Deputy Administrator Sophie Shulman.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe selection and establishment of this committee is a step forward in saving lives and fulfilling the goals of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. This committee will inform future actions and ensure that key stakeholders have a seat at the table on this important issue.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NHTSA said members of the committee were selected for their expertise, training or experience in related trucking and transportation safety areas, as well as law enforcement.<\/p>\n

NHTSA is also publishing an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking<\/a> to consider requirements for side underride guards. Impact guards are designed to absorb energy and prevent a passenger vehicle involved in a crash with a large truck or trailer from sliding under the impacted trailer, which causes severe injuries and fatalities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
