Description
The Transit Security Grant Program (TSGP) is a major Department of Homeland Security initiative administered by FEMA to bolster the security and resilience of the nation’s public transportation systems. The program provides competitive funding to eligible public transit agencies—including passenger rail, intra-city bus, and ferry systems—to enhance protection of critical infrastructure and the traveling public against terrorism and related threats.
