 Alert to Security: A Message from TRB Executive Director Robert E. Skinner
Since September 11, 2001, government agencies and the American public have looked to the scientific and engineering communities to develop faster, more efficient ways to detect, thwart, and respond to terrorist attacks on the transportation system. TRB committees and research programs have responded to this challenge and have developed a bookshelf of security resources and guides for transportation professionals, decision makers, and members of the general public available on the web at www.TRB.org/SecurityPubs.
