## 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

## 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

| Move from thinking in terms of: | To thinking about the issue in terms of: | Implications for the Transportation Sector |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Assets | Systems | Since transportation sector spans operations from the micro to the macro level and is also inter-modal, it is not possible to define any part as truly independent |
| Reactive | Adaptive | Recognizing the transportation sector as a system of systems calls for decision makers to anticipate, assess, act and adapt to the current environment |
| Linear | Dynamic | Linear thinking (the deterministic If-Then approach) can not address the uncertainty and complexity of large, interconnected, and adaptive networks  |
| Events | Patterns | Predictions are not possible in a complex and uncertain world, but that does not preclude understanding  - the key is to look for patterns (rather than causes) that follow simple rules |
| Rigid | Resilient | Resilient enterprises can withstand systemic shocks, discontinuities and disruptions.  Achieving resilience requires the integrated management of risk (layered defense) across all aspects of the extended enterprise. |

## Risk Analysis Must Occur at Many Levels

**Implementation, Monitoring; & **
**Feedback to Risk Assessment Cycle**

_**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 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**

_**GOVERNMENT FIELD ASSESSMENTS**_
- USG Field Teams visit sites to assess risk
- to and across the system

**LAYER 1**

**LAYER 2**

**LAYER 3**

**LAYER 4**

## The Federal Government Will Use Both a Top-Down and Bottom-Up Approach

## 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: I**mprove 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.

## Stakeholder Coordination

*Note: The Pipeline GCC & SCC is part of the Energy GCC & SCC. TSA participates in Pipeline modal meetings hosted by the Department of Energy.*

***Proposed SCC Org Structure***

***GCC Org Structure***

- 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.

## TSSP Appendices-Modal Implementation Plans

- The TSSP will include Modal Implementation Plans Annexes. The annexes will be written by the GCC and SCC modal coordinating council and will describe the modes’ plans to achieve the Sector goals and objectives.
