 Transportation Sector
• The Transportation Sector is a vast, far-reaching, complex and diverse network
system consisting of six distinct modes:
– Aviation: 450 commercial airports and 19,000 additional airfields
– Highway: 4 million miles of roads and supporting infrastructure (bridges, tunnels, etc.)
– Maritime: 41,300 vessels; 655 billion ton-miles of domestic commerce
– Mass Transit: 6,000 public transportation systems; 21 billion passenger-miles
– Pipeline Systems: Oil- 177,000 miles; 623 billion ton-miles; Natural Gas- 1.3 million
miles of pipeline
– Rail: 193,000 miles of track; 1.4 million freight cars, 1.4 trillion revenue ton-miles; 8
Class 1 and 552 additional firms

• Transportation demand (value of goods and services) estimated at $1.1 trillion

(2003)
– Personal consumption of transportation-which includes household purchases of motor
vehicles and parts, gasoline and oil, and transportation services-is the largest
component of transportation-related demand (82%).

• Transportation represents 10.7% of GDP (2003)

• Directly employs one out of every eight persons in the U.S. labor force
3
 TSSP Focus
• 3-5 year strategic plan for CI/KR protection efforts

• Implementation Plan Annexes per mode to achieve sector goals

• Robust GCC and SCC interaction to develop TSSP and Modal Annexes, and
modal specific issues, e.g TIH Rail, etc.

• Improved information sharing: HSIN, ISACs, GCC/SCC Framework

• Coordinated Sector R&D efforts based on NCIP R&D roadmap

• Systems-based risk methodology and analysis

The TSSP Calls for a Systems-Based Approach to Risk
Management

To thinking
Move from
about the
thinking in Implications for the Transportation Sector
issue in
terms of:
terms of:
Since transportation sector spans operations from the micro to the
Assets Systems macro level and is also inter-modal, it is not possible to define any part
as truly independent

Recognizing the transportation sector as a system of systems calls for

Reactive Adaptive decision makers to anticipate, assess, act and adapt to the current
environment
Linear thinking (the deterministic If-Then approach) can not address the
Linear Dynamic uncertainty and complexity of large, interconnected, and adaptive
networks
Predictions are not possible in a complex and uncertain world, but that
Events Patterns does not preclude understanding - the key is to look for patterns (rather
than causes) that follow simple rules

Resilient enterprises can withstand systemic shocks, discontinuities and

Rigid Resilient disruptions. Achieving resilience requires the integrated management
of risk (layered defense) across all aspects of the extended enterprise.

LAYER 2
GOVERNMENT ASSISTED SELF ASSESSMENTS
USG Field Teams support sector stakeholders in completing SA of
their assets. These SAs are tied to specific grant programs or industry
group self-policing. Agencies Involved: G&T, DOT, DOD, IP,
USCG, and below

LAYER 1 STATE, LOCAL and PRIVATE SECTOR SELF ASSESSMENTS

State, Local, and Tribal leaders and private sector and operators conduct
risk assessments. Active participation from: TSA, SCC,
GCC, USG SMEs, S/L leaders, ISACs

 Government Draft Interim Sector Goals and Objectives

Sector Vision: “Our vision is a secure and resilient transportation network, enabling legitimate
travelers and goods to move without undue fear of harm or significant disruption of commerce
and civil liberties”

Goal 1: Prevent and deter acts of terrorism using or against the US transportation system
1A: Develop and implement flexible, layered and unpredictable security measures
1B: Increase security awareness training throughout the transportation sector
1C: Conduct drills and exercises to test, practice, and evaluate the execution of prevention/operational plans and
procedures

Goal 2: Enhance resiliency of the US transportation system

2A: Reduce the risk associated with key nodes, links and flows within critical transportation systems to increase
overall network survivability
2B: Develop flexible contingency plans that are exercised and updated to ensure rapid response and recovery to
all-hazards events

Goal 3: Build security networks throughout the US transportation system

3A: Enhance information sharing with federal, state, local, and tribal governments; the private sector; and
international security partners
3B: Increase interagency and state, local, and tribal governments; and private sector participation in
transportation security exercises
3C: Ensure sufficient sector participation in development and implementation of federal security initiatives

Goal 4: Improve the cost effective use of resources for transportation security
4A: Align federal critical infrastructure/key resource funds for transportation security using risk informed analysis
4B: Develop and disseminate standards for risk analysis tools

 Government and Sector Coordinating Councils
• The Transportation Sector Government Coordinating Council (TS-GCC) organized
January 2006. Primary members consist of TSA, DOT, USCG, DOD, DHS
Preparedness Directorate, and DOE.
– Secondary members include CBP, G&T, DHS Office of State and Local, and FBI.

• TS-GCC is further divided into modal Government Coordinating Councils (GCC)

for each mode of transportation. While the membership of the modal councils are
similar, they focus on the unique needs of each mode.
– Typical Modal GCC membership includes representatives from TSA, DOT, USCG, DOD,
CBP, G&T, DHS Office of State and Local, DHS Policy Office, and members of the
intelligence and law enforcement communities.

• Sector Coordinating Councils are currently being organized and “mirror” the modal
GCCs organized by modes. An Transportation Sector SCC (TS-SCC) will
eventually be the overarching SCC for the sector.

9
 Stakeholder Coordination
• The GCC and SCC will be subdivided into modal coordinating council to ensure
that the TSSP is applicable to stakeholders in each mode of transportation.
