The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is an independent federal agency charged by Congress with investigating every civil aviation accident in the United States and significant events in other modes of transportation—railroad, transit, highway, marine, pipeline, and commercial space, promoting transportation safety, and assisting victims of transportation accidents and their families.

Today, Member Chapman briefed #NewYork lawmakers about the 2013 #NTSB safety recommendation to all 50 states, DC, and Puerto Rico to establish a per se BAC limit of .05 or lower. Research suggests that lowering the legal BAC limit to .05 will reduce fatal alcohol-related crashes by an estimated 11 percent, saving at least 1,700 lives annually in the United States. The science behind .05 BAC limits is clear and irrefutable. More than 100 countries have established a BAC limit of .05 to reduce alcohol-related crashes. The benefits of lower BAC limits are well documented. "A .05 BAC limit will save lives and cut the number of senseless and completely avoidable alcohol-impaired driving crashes." #DriveSober #RoadSafety #legislation #leadership
