Abstract:Since September 11, 2001, state departments of transportation (DOTs) have been assuming a more proactive role in security and emergency management. The purpose of this Effective Practices Report is to document key lessons learned by state DOTs as they have expanded their security responsibilities.
This report is part of a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) transportation pooled fund research project to develop a transportation security plan for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT). FHWA asked the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Volpe Center to assist PennDOT in developing a strategic approach to improving its existing security efforts. This project – funded by Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Arizona – produced three separate volumes:
• Volume I: A review of the current state of PennDOT’s security planning. This includes the findings from extensive interviews with staff from PennDOT and other relevant agencies, as well as a review of PennDOT’s existing security documents.
• Volume II: This Effective Practices Report.
• Volume III: A list of specific recommendations for PennDOT. This was developed from the findings of the first two phases of work.
This report, Volume II, documents key lessons learned by state DOTs as they have expanded their security responsibilities. Volpe Center staff interviewed security officials from seven state DOTs, chosen because of their agencies’ reputations for being advanced in the field of security planning, as well as selected federal transportation and security officials involved in security planning. Volpe Center staff also conducted a review of reports concerning state transportation security planning efforts.
