The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), which was recently signed by the President, provides $150 million for hiring transit security officers and funding capital security projects under the Transit Security Grant Program (TSGP).
This is a one-time competitive grant. The goal is to create jobs and reduce transit risk as quickly as possible. The application process is different than the FY 2009 TSGP. There are no tiers or target allocations. Some costs are pre-approved. Click here for complete information.
The TSGP is one of five grant programs in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Infrastructure Protection Program (IPP), which is designed to strengthen the nation's critical infrastructure against risks associated with terrorism. It provides security funding to owners and operators of transit systems, including passenger rail and intracity bus. Tier I consists of the eight highest risk transit regions. Tier II consists of other large urban areas. Tier II grants are awarded on a competitive basis.
In FY 2006, TSGP provided $13 million to passenger rail and intracity bus in Tier II regions.
