    • Abstract:
      The United States possesses an effective and efficient surface transportation infrastructure that

      promotes both the well-being of its citizens as well as important economic and national security

      goals. The level of security afforded this infrastructure is relatively low compared to the security

      enhancements recently implemented in the commercial aviation sector. However, there is

      sufficient reason to believe that the security levels of the surface transportation modes need to be

      raised as the threat level increases and the vulnerabilities of the current infrastructure become

      apparent. There are potential threat scenarios where a significant loss of human life or a major

      disruption to a key segment of the nation’s transportation infrastructure could occur. Given this

      fact, it is essential that well-planned, coordinated actions be taken to reduce the possibility that

      such events occur. Such actions should represent a coordinated approach by a partnership of

      public and private sector institutions to: identify vulnerabilities and threats; and enhance the

      security of key surface transportation infrastructure segments and operations.
