FAA Continues To Face Runway Incursion Challenges
Implementation of runway safety initiatives continue to experience delays.

The FAA is making progress on initiatives to address runway incursions, and a June 27 report from the U.S. DoT Office of Inspector General offers several revisions to its current plan. Runway incursions continue to be a challenge for the FAA, and incursions increased by nearly 83 percent between 2011 and 2017. The FAA initiated a Call to Action forum in 2015 to address the increase and recently evaluated progress in implementing initiatives proposed during the forum. As of November 2017, the FAA had completed 10 of the 22 initiatives.
