NHTSA
U.S. federal regulatory agency
NHTSA is a U.S. federal regulatory agency within the Department of Transportation, not a media outlet. It sets and enforces motor-vehicle safety standards, oversees vehicle recalls, and funds state highway-safety programs. Under the Trump administration's second term, the agency has seen significant workforce cuts tied to DOGE efficiency efforts, with its crash-investigation activity falling sharply.
