Emergency Management of the Transportation System
Emergency Management of the Transportation System : "In emergencies, the Secretary of Homeland Security is the principal Federal official for domestic incident management. However, DOT is responsible for the emergency management of the transportation system, coordination of alternative transportation services, the restoration and recovery of transportation infrastructure, and other functions. FRA has the lead role in investigating rail accidents and for reporting and coordinating accident response until it is determined that the accident may have been deliberately caused, at which time TSA gets involved". (House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. Hearing, Subcommittees on Highways & Transit, and Railroads, Pipelines, & Hazardous Materials - Transit & Rail Security, March 7, 2007)
