Guidelines - Railroads
The mission of TSA's Rail Passenger Security group is to protect the nation's railroad passengers, employees, and properties.
Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the 7/7 London subway bombings, and the Madrid rail bombings, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has taken several steps to manage risk and strengthen our nation's rail and transit systems by:
-
Providing funding to state and local partners;
-
Training and deploying manpower and assets for high risk areas;
-
Developing and testing new technologies, and;
-
Performing security assessments of systems across the country.
