	National Transportation Safety Board - Safety Recommendation
		The National Transportation Safety Board determined that the probable cause of this accident was the failure of the Nebraska Department of Roads to recognize and correct the hazardous condition in the work zone created by the irregular geometry of the roadway, the narrow lane widths, and the speed limit.
		As a result of this investigation, the Safety Board has issued seven safety recommendations, one of which is addressed to the National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services (NASDPTS).
		The recommendation is derived from the Safety Board’s investigation of an October 13, 2001, work zone accident1 involving a school bus that plunged off the West Papillion Creek Bridge in Omaha, Nebraska, and is consistent with the evidence it found and the analysis it performed.

	National Transportation Safety Board Special Investigation Report
		NTSB Determines Cause of Two Transit Rail Accidents at BWI Airport December 11, 2001 03:58 PM In a special railroad investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board has determined the probable causes of two separate accidents involving the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) at the Baltimore Washington International Airport (BWI).
		The Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the February 13, 2000, accident at the Baltimore-Washington International Airport rail transit station was the train 24 operator's impairment by illicit and/or prescription drugs, which caused the operator to fail to stop the train before it struck the bumping post at the terminus.
		The Safety Board's investigation of the two accidents indicated that, although the direct cause of each accident was different, aspects of the MTA rail transit operation common to the two accidents influenced both their outcomes.
