The program aims to protect critical surface transportation infrastructure and the traveling public from acts of terrorism.

Eligible activities include planning, operational activities, equipment and capital projects, training, and exercises. Applications are due by June 24, 2024, and awards are anticipated by September 30, 2024.
The TSGP is part of the Rail and Transit Security Grant Program (CFDA 97.075), which provides funds to transit agencies to protect critical transportation infrastructure and the traveling public. Eligible applicants include city/township governments and county governments. The period of performance is 36 or 48 months, and the funding can be used for a variety of transportation security-related projects and activities.
Synopsis
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Transit Security Grant Program (TSGP) is one of four grant programs that constitute DHS/FEMA's focus on transportation infrastructure security activities. These grant programs are part of a comprehensive set of measures authorized by Congress and implemented by DHS to help strengthen the nation's critical infrastructure against risks associated with potential terrorist attacks. The TSGP provides funds to transit agencies to protect critical surface transportation infrastructure and the traveling public from acts of terrorism.
For FY 2024, DHS is focused on the criticality of information sharing and collaboration to building a national culture of preparedness and protecting against terrorism and other threats to our national security. DHS and its homeland security mission were born from the "failures among federal agencies and between the federal agencies and state and local authorities to share critical information related to the threat of terrorism" prior to the September 11, 2001, attacks. The threat profile has changed in the last two decades - we now face continuous cyber threats by sophisticated actors, threats to soft targets and crowded places, threats to our democratic election process and threats from new and emerging technologies. That said, information sharing and cooperation between state, local, tribal, and territorial authorities, and federal agencies, including all DHS officials, is just as vital, and perhaps even more vital, today. Therefore, for FY 2024, we have identified two priority areas, related to some of the most serious threats that Amtrak should address with IPR funds. These two priorities areas include enhancing cybersecurity and enhancing the protection of soft targets/crowded places. DHS also will continue to forge partnerships to strengthen information sharing and collaboration in each of these priority areas.
