About this file

This document is a FEMA Form 089-4A, specifically the Investment Justification Agency Background Template for the Transit Security Grant Program (TSGP). The form is designed for applicants to provide detailed information about their transit system and proposed security investment, with sections requiring comprehensive details such as point of contact information, critical infrastructure description, ridership data, number of passenger miles, vehicle/vessel inventory, system mapping, and other funding sources for security enhancements.

The template is part of the Fiscal Year 2025 TSGP application process, which allows transit agencies to apply for federal funding to protect transportation infrastructure against potential terrorist threats. Applicants can submit up to eight projects per region, with an additional five projects allowed for law enforcement providers dedicated to transit organizations. The form emphasizes the need for each Investment Justification (IJ) to demonstrate how proposed projects address current security gaps and capabilities, consistent with Department of Homeland Security and FEMA guidance. Electronic submissions are required through ND Grants, with specific file naming conventions and a warning about the sensitive security information contained within the document.
