Substantial transparent stakeholder communication is a goal of the TSA Grants Team. In an effort to meet this goal, the office has developed an external communication plan. A key component of this plan is to evolve from presenting information to security partners (e.g., bulletins, e-mails and web pages) to interacting openly and meaningfully with partners (e.g., conferences, conference calls, workshops, and blogs). We have pushed ahead with this communication philosophy resulting in a redesigned website that is more professional and informative. We have moved forward in making our web presence more interactive as well by creating a registration-only blog.
The TSA Grants Web Board/ Blog provides an electronic forum for the freight rail, trucking, bus and mass transit communities to discuss topics relating to Transportation Security Grant Programs with staff from the TSA and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The TSA Grants Blog will encourage discussions about the following programs: the Transit Security Grant Program (TSGP), the Intercity Bus Security Grant Program (IBSGP), the Trucking Security Program (TSP), and the Freight Rail Security Grant Program (FRSGP).
The TSA Grants Blog will be hosted on a TSA WebBoard where users must be registered by TSA to access a general discussion area and potentially one or more transportation mode-specific blogs (a.k.a. conferences) in which grant topics will be discussed. This TSA Grants Blog has a specific focus (that is, information concerning grants related to transportation security) in order to keep discussions centered on topics of immediate concern to the transportation community. Sensitive Security Information (SSI) will not be permitted in the general discussion area. Even though SSI will not be currently permitted in the mode-specific conferences, we would like SSI discussions to be permitted in the mode-specific conferences in the future.
