NTSB issued two urgent safety recommendations calling for direct federal safety oversight of Washington's Metrorail system by the Federal Railroad Administration. In its safety recommendation letter to the Secretary of Transportation, NTSB said that in the past 33 years, it had launched 11 investigations of WMATA rail accidents that had killed 18 people. Many of those investigations involved WMATA’s inadequate management of safety operations.
