OverviewSecuring the transportation system is critical to keeping Americans safe. Over the past year, we've seen an increasing threat of terrorism to vital surface transportation networks. On September 17, 2016, a bomb exploded in New York City's Chelsea neighborhood injuring 31 people. Two days later, police in Elizabeth, New Jersey, removed a backpack filled with pipe bombs from a public trash can. The devices were discovered near the town's train station. In Nice, France, a member of ISIL drove a commercial truck into a crowded promenade, killing 84 people. In March, 16 individuals were killed in a bomb blast at a metro station in Brussels, Belgium. These tragic events underscore a dangerous reality. Surface transportation, rail, ports, pipelines, and mass transit systems are at risk of attack.
