The FAA established the Runway Safety Program by FAA Order 7050.1 on November 1, 2002. This order placed the overall responsibility for the program on the Office of Runway Safety by requiring it to work with other FAA organizations and the aviation community to identify and implement activities/technologies designed to increase runway safety. The 55 percent reduction in the number of serious runway incursions since 2001 demonstrates the effectiveness of this program. In FY 2007, we saw a 23 percent reduction in the most serious (Category A and B) runway incursions from 2006. While the most serious runway incursions showed a reduction, overall incursions increased during the same time period. Although most of the incursions were Category C and D incursions which posed little or no risk to the public the FAA is committed to reducing the overall number of runway incursions.
