The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Office of Emergency Medical Services (EMS)

has a long history of accomplishment through partnership and collaboration. Our “modus operandi” has always been to bring together representatives from the EMS community, and facilitate a consensus-based process for developing our programs. Since our programs and products are used by EMS providers, we have always held that they should be developed by EMS providers.

The mission of the Office of EMS is to reduce death and disability by providing leadership and coordination to the EMS community in assessing, planning, developing and promoting comprehensive, evidence-based emergency medical services and 9-1-1 systems.
