TSA To Issue Final Rule For Security Training For Transit, Freight And Bus Employees Summer 2018

It has been 14 years since the 9/11 Commission Report was issued, in which many recommendations were made to improve security in the U.S. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has still not yet implemented three of these recommendations, although it has been reported that the TSA will issue a final rule for one of those three recommendations this summer, establishing security training for transit, freight and bus workers. TSA Surface Division Director Sonya Proctor noted that the final rule for employee vetting guidelines and Surface Transportation Vulnerability Assessment and Security Plans will be forthcoming.
