This testimony is based primarily on GAO's September 2005 passenger rail security report and selected recent program updates. Specifically, it addressees (1) the extent to which the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has assessed the risks facing the U.S. passenger rail system and developed a strategy based on risk assessments for securing all modes of transportation, including passenger rail, and (2) the actions that federal agencies have taken to enhance the security of the U.S. passenger rail system. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-583T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-583T.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-583T/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-583T.pdf GAO-07-583T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-583T Testimony GAO-07-583T; Passenger Rail Security: Federal Strategy and Enhanced Coordination Needed to Prioritize and Guide Security Efforts; Comparative analysis Counterterrorism Emergency preparedness Homeland security Interagency relations Mass transit Passengers Rail security Railroad safety Risk assessment Risk management Strategic planning Terrorism Transportation security Program goals or objectives National Infrastructure Protection Plan Volume 116 Page 2135 116 Stat. 2135 Volume 118 Page 1298 Volume 118 Page 3638 118 Stat. 1298 118 Stat. 3638 Volume 119 Page 1144 Volume 119 Page 2064 119 Stat. 1144 119 Stat. 2064 Volume 120 Page 1355 120 Stat. 1355 Public Law 107-296 Public Law 109-59 Public Law 109-90 Public Law 109-295
