The Transportation Recall Enhancement Accountability and Documentation (TREAD) Act was enacted in 2001 to help the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) develop an early warning system to reduce vehicle related crashes, prevent injuries and save lives.
As this brief summary makes clear, the TREAD Act challenged us to do a lot of work. It requires us to complete 15 separate rulemaking actions, three reports, two studies, and one strategic plan. Many of the required actions had tight deadlines, some as short as 30 days. Some of these actions had not been on our agenda before the TREAD Act, so we had to accomplish the TREAD actions without compromising our work on other priority actions.
