PRIA, Government Policy, Made Personal

Summary

By March 31 each year, the Secretary must send Congress a report that explains how the law is being carried out, how much of the law’s money is left unspent, and includes the National Strategy for Public Transportation Security. The report must give an estimate of the total cost to carry out that strategy, showing totals for needed capital and operational security improvements for fiscal years 2008–2018. It must describe the overall condition of public transportation security, including where security assessments stand, progress on lists of needed security upgrades, how agencies’ security plans compare to those lists, and a random sample that shows the same number of large and small projects now underway. The Secretary may provide the report in both classified and redacted versions if needed. By March 31 each year, the Secretary must also send each State governor a report for any public transportation agency in that State that received a grant. That report must say how much money each agency got and how the agency used the funds.
