Excerpt
Excerpt: The Transportation Security Administration (TSA), in partnership with the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), has developed the Port Security Training Exercises Program (PortSTEP) as a joint program to help meet the mandates of the 2002 Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA). PortSTEP is designed to provide maritime transportation security communities nationwide with training exercises, evaluations, and accompanying information technology products. TSA and USCG have come together under this program to share authorities and expertise in an effort to enhance the preparedness of our nation?s ports. TSA being concerned with the surface transportation system will focus on the intermodal aspects of PortSTEP, while the USCG will continue to focus on the water-side and maritime aspects of the program. PortSTEP is designed to address the unique transportation security issues found in the intermodal maritime environment of our Nation?s ports.
