What is the Mission of The Emergency Medical Services Division? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) mission is to save lives, prevent injuries and reduce traffic-related health care and other economic costs. The goal of NHTSA's EMS Division is to develop/enhance comprehensive emergency medical service systems to care for the injured patients involved in motor vehicle crashes. We are proud of the fact that improving EMS systems for the highway crash patients has a positive effect on all patients. The first draft of the National EMS Scope of Practice Model is now available for review and comment (posted 07/21/04) To request copies of the materials listed on this site, please print and fax back the NHTSA EMS Materials Order Form.
