Who administers the Military Assistance to Safety and Traffic (MAST) program?

• A. The Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration
• B. Department of Defense
• C. Federal Emergency Management Agency
• D. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

Answer: (A)

This item tests who runs the MAST program. MAST, the Military Assistance to Safety and Traffic program, is a traffic-safety initiative that partners with the military to promote road safety. It is administered by the Department of Transportation through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which leads national traffic-safety programs and coordinates with other agencies on safety campaigns. The other agencies listed don’t administer MAST: the Department of Defense focuses on military operations, FEMA handles disasters, and NOAA deals with weather and oceans. So the administering body is DOT’s NHTSA.
