Six Goals for Transportation Security: TRB’s All Hazards Framework for Security Activities

This paper describes how an all hazards approach is necessary in order to effect a sustainable cycle of transportation security and emergency preparedness. Developing a strategy to counter terrorism requires a roadmap informed by research. Federal preparedness policies are converging under the all hazards approach of the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the Six Grand Challenges for Disaster Reduction identified by the National Science and Technology Council. The National Academies provide unique venues for interaction of the private sector, academia, and all levels of government in addressing policy and technical issues of national importance. The Transportation Research Board (TRB) promotes innovation and progress in transportation through research. In an objective and interdisciplinary setting, TRB facilitates the sharing of information on transportation practice and policy by researchers and practitioners; stimulates research and offers research management services that promote technical excellence; provides expert advice on transportation policy and programs; and disseminates research results broadly and encourages their implementation. TRB shares research results from all sources, identifies research needs, and funds applied research in support of a risk-informed all hazards approach to natural hazards and security.
