Transportation safety board creation pushed

IN light of road crashes, a senator on Monday reiterated the need for the creation of an independent agency dedicated to addressing worsening transport-safety woes in the country.

Grace Poe, head of the Senate Committee on Public Services, noted that the Department of Transportation (DOTr) already has its hands full attending to various issues facing the transportation sector and having a dedicated agency focused on ensuring safety and determination of causes of road accidents would be a big help.
