9-11 Commission Report: Implications for Transportation Security in the NY/NJ Region Eva Lerner-Lam and David Gaier Transportation Security Committee Transportation and Development Institute of the ASCE Presented to Women in Transportation Seminar Newark Club, Newark, NJ Wednesday, September 22, 2004

Overview of Presentation What the Commission found What they recommended How their recommendations will affect transportation in the NY/NJ region

Background Commission Created in 2003 at behest of the “9-11 Widows” Leadership and membership Objectives

Major Findings “Failure of Imagination” An improvised homeland defense on 9/11 “We are safer, but not safe”

Specific Findings Fighting terrorism was not a high priority Capabilities of Intelligence, Defense and other agencies were antiquated and insufficient Inefficient management of government: “The enemy made mistakes; our government wasn’t able to capitalize on them.”

Specific Findings Permeable borders and immigration controls Permeable aviation borders Inadequate funding Emergency response was hampered by lack of command and control and internal communications Slowness in Congressional action

Major Recommendations Strategies: Attack terrorists and their organizations Prevent continued growth of Islamic terrorism Protect against and prepare for terrorist attacks

Major Recommendations Tactics: A “Unity of Effort” A National Counterterrorism Center A National Intelligence Director Restructure Congressional and Executive Branch to address terrorism Organizing America’s defenses in the US

Recommendations Related to Transportation Security 1.Department of Homeland Security should develop an integrated plan to focus resources in a manner to best protect all the transportation modes 2.Seek improvements in technologies with applications across transportation modes 3.Promulgate standards

DHS/TSA Efforts Already Underway A Transportation Sector Specific Plan (SSP) is part of the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP). It will: Delineate roles and responsibilities between the stakeholders Provide a "roadmap" for identifying critical infrastructure and key resources, assessing vulnerabilities, prioritizing assets, and implementing protection measures. Be completed by the end of 2004

After the Transportation SPP is completed… Specific modal security plans will be developed and integrated into a concept of operations for management of the transportation sector's security

Pending Congressional Legislation 9/11 Commission Report Implementation Act of 2004

Pending Congressional Legislation Fifty other bills related to “Transportation Security” including: Intermodal Shipping Container Security Act (S.2297.IS) Rail Security Act of 2004 (S.2273.RS) Safe TRAINS Act (H.R.4361.IH) Rail Transit Security and Safety Act of 2004 (H.R.4476.IH) Public Transportation Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (S.2453.RS/H.5082)

Implications for Transportation Security in the NY/NJ Region 1.Who in the NY/NJ region is assisting DHS in developing and/or reviewing the NIPP, sector and modal plans?

Implications for Transportation Security in the NY/NJ Region 2.How will the many transportation agencies in the NY/NJ Region integrate future planning to protect, detect and recover on a regional and multimodal basis? City and State DOT’s NJ Turnpike, Garden State Parkway and Palisades Interstate Parkway Authorities Port Authority of New York/New Jersey NY MTA NJ Transit AMTRAK Chemical Industry State Offices of Emergency Management

Implications for Transportation Security in the NY/NJ Region 3.Will there be adequate federal funding to support the plans?
