Fiscal Year 2009 Trucking Security Program

The Trucking Security Program (TSP) is one of six grant programs that constitute the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 focus on infrastructure protection activities. The TSP is one tool among a comprehensive set of measures authorized by Congress and implemented by the Administration to help strengthen the nation’s critical infrastructure against risks associated with potential terrorist attacks. On June 26, 2008, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced the development of a Voluntary Program of Recommended Security Action items to Enhance the Shipment of Highway Security-Sensitive Materials (HSSM). These HSSM have the potential to cause significant fatalities and injuries or significant economic damage when released or detonated during a transportation security incident. The voluntary security practices have been developed by the TSA Highway and Motor Carrier Division in conjunction with stakeholders including representatives of the chemical manufacturing industry, chemical carriers and transportation industry, as well as appropriate Federal agencies. This Trucking Security Program focus is being initiated to encourage the acceptance and implementation of these security practices.* The following are the required forms to be completed in the downloaded application package: Please note that these required forms may fall under either the mandatory or optional document headings in the application package.
