Grants Program FY 2012
The Transit Security Grant Program (TSGP) is one of the Department of Homeland Security’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 grant programs which directly support transportation infrastructure security activities. These grant programs are part of a comprehensive set of measures authorized by Congress and implemented by the Administration to help strengthen the nation’s critical infrastructure against risks associated with potential terrorist attacks. The program provides funds to owners and operators of transit systems (which include intracity bus, certain ferry systems and all forms of passenger rail) to protect critical surface transportation infrastructure and the traveling public from potential acts of terrorism.
The FY 2012 TSGP was initially authorized by section 1406 of the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (Public Law 110-53) (the 9/11 Act) and is currently funded under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2012 (Public Law 112-81.) Please reference the documents below for an overview of highlights and key changes for this year’s program.
