Book Description
Our mission is to protect the nation's transportation system--a complex 'system of systems' comprised of aircraft, ships, and rail and motor vehicles; airports, seaports, and transshipment facilities; roads, railways, bridges, and pipelines; and supporting infrastructures--from terrorist attack and criminal activity. We have made it our responsibility to understand the magnitude of such pursuit, and maintain a heightened sense of urgency in all of our security operations. Americans depend on us and will continue to do so into the future. As we work to meet the immediate needs of the transportation sector, we continue to develop and implement the strategies that enable us to perform our daily activities while ultimately preparing us for the future. Accordingly, we have prepared a five-year strategic plan focused on four fundamental goals: (1) Domain Awareness, (2) Prevent and Protect, (3) Respond and Restore, and (4) Organizational Effectiveness.
