Title: Public Transportation Security Grants
Abstract: This proposed rule provides interested parties an opportunity to comment on the characteristics and requirements to be employed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) when awarding public transportation security grants. The purpose of these grants is to create a sustainable effort for the protection of regional transit systems and the commuting public from terrorism, especially explosives and non-conventional threats that would cause major loss of life and severe disruption. These funds may be used for planning, organization, equipment, training, exercises, and limited management, administrative, and operational costs.
