摘要: Terrorist attacks on foreign passenger rail systems, which include rail transit and intercity rail, have underscored the importance of collecting and analyzing security incident information to identify potential vulnerabilities. Within the federal government, TSA is the primary agency responsible for overseeing and enhancing passenger rail security, and has several programs to fulfill this responsibility. In 2008, TSA issued a regulation requiring U.S. passenger rail agencies to report all potential threats and significant security concerns to TSA, among other things. GAO was asked to assess the extent to which (1) TSA has overseen and enforced this reporting requirement and (2) TSA has analyzed passenger rail security incident information to identify security trends. GAO reviewed TSA policy documents, guidance, and incident data from January 2011 through June 2012, and interviewed federal officials and security officials from 19 passenger rail agencies. GAO selected these agencies, in part, because of their ridership volume. The results of these interviews are not generalizable but provide insights.
