Every two years, the NTSB publishes a Most Wanted List of safety improvements that the agency determines are important to preventing accidents, minimizing injuries and saving lives across all modes of transportation. On the eve of the Biden-Harris inauguration, Holland & Knight spoke with NTSB Chairman Robert Sumwalt about current agency safety priorities and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the agency's important mission.
