The Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) is planning to bolster security over the next five years, including a 77-percent spending increase in security services next year and adding 65 full-time salaried positions in 2018-2019, 61 of them police.

The TSA has partnered with the Los Angeles County Metro to deploy a new portable passenger screening technology that will help detect weapon and explosive device security threats on the county’s transit system.

The American Public Transportation Association (APTA) announced the winners of the annual Rail Safety & Security Excellence Awards.

The TSA has commended 13 transit and passenger-rail agencies for achieving the TSA's highest rating for transit security.
