Millions of miles of pipelines deliver energy to homes and businesses across America. Our job at the U.S. Department of Transportation is to ensure that every mile is safe. Doing this job right is important because protecting the energy infrastructure is critical to the U.S. economy and our everyday lives. PHMSA continues to provide strong safety oversight of the pipeline network that delivers energy fuels to the American public.

Over the years, pipeline incidents have highlighted the need for both federal and state pipeline regulators to beef up their pipeline safety programs and to prevent similar accidents in the future. For these reasons, PHMSA led “A Call To Action” for all pipeline stakeholders, including the pipeline industry, the utility regulators, and our state and federal partners to develop an action plan to accelerate the rehabilitation, repair, and replacement programs for high-risk pipeline infrastructure. See the links on this page for more information.
