NASDPTS Members,

Apparently, on Friday, February 26, the TSA School Bus Security Assessment, required by the 911 Commission was sent from TSA to Congress.

President Bush signed H. R. 1 in August 2007 requiring TSA to perform within one year security risk assessments on school buses as well as commercial and transit buses, over-the-highway trucks and other critical infrastructure vehicles. Obviously, the school bus security assessment is a little behind schedule but is now in the hands of Congress. Congress will now review the security assessment and, subsequently, release it to the public.

The assessment is designed to inform Congress of the vulnerabilities that TSA found in school bus security and, optimistically, could result in security assistance for the school bus industry.

Further details should be available soon.
