Abstract: TSA intends to publish Security Directives (SD), which will be mandatory, and Information Circular (IC), which will be non-mandatory recommendations, to various surface transportation mode operators to address the ongoing cybersecurity threat using a risk-based approach to transportation security. The SDs would only apply to “Higher Risk” Railroads and Rail Transit operations and the IC would apply to lower-risk operations to enhance the surface transportation integrated system to include transit bus operations and over-the-road bus (OTRB) owner/operators.
