Abstract

The article considers transit security as a U.S. homeland security policy issue facing the 113th Congress. The government raised the concern about the vulnerability of passenger rail systems to terrorist attacks following the increased security efforts around air travel. It identified the three primary objectives for reducing risk in transit: to mitigate risks to high-risk/high-consequence assets; to expand operational deterrence activities; and to enhance information sharing.
