TSA honors PRTC with “Gold Standard Award” for transit safety and security efforts
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) presented its prestigious Baseline Assessment for Security Enhancement (BASE) Gold Standard Award to the Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission (PRTC) for its ongoing efforts to provide a safe transit experience for its riders throughout the system.
The BASE program is a voluntary security assessment of national mass transit and passenger rail systems and is performed by TSA’s transportation security inspectors. The assessment informs development of risk mitigation priorities and determines TSA allocations or resources. TSA recognizes PRTC for demonstrating a strong security program with its Gold Standard Award.
