    Risk Assessment: Transportation   

    DESCRIPTION
    The devastating attacks of September 11, 2001 graphically demonstrated the risks facing
    the United States’ commercial transportation system from international terrorism.
    Recognizing the terrorist threat, homeland security officials and experts have designed risk
    assessment methodologies specific to this critical infrastructure sector.

    Vulnerability Evaluation Tool: The Transportation Risk Assessment


    and Vulnerability Evaluation (TRAVEL) Tool is used in a
    comprehensive, facilitated, on-site assessment of a transportation
    asset. An assessment using the TRAVEL tool requires a systematic
    assessment of an asset's baseline security system and that system's
    effectiveness in detecting, deterring, and/or preventing the threat
    scenarios.
