Description

Recent events highlight the vulnerability of rail systems to terrorist attacks and the importance of security for passengers. This report examines the Transportation Security Administrationäó»s (TSA) update on the state of domestic rail security. TSA has limited regulatory oversight processes to strengthen passenger security at Amtrak because the component has not fully implemented all requirements from the 9/11 Act. Specifically, TSA has not issued regulations to assign rail carriers to high-risk tiers; established a rail training program; or conducted security background checks of frontline rail employees. In the absence of formal regulations, TSA relies on outreach programs, voluntary initiatives, and recommended measures to assess and improve rail security for Amtrak. Includes recommendations. Figures. This is a print on demand report.
