The Federal Highway Administration has released a new guide to assist statewide and regional transportation planners. Considering Security and Emergency Management in the Planning of ReTransportation Projects (PDF) is aimed at project-level planning and includes information on factors to consider about security measures, partners, examples where it has been done, and when to conduct such planning. It includes a checklist of steps to complete in identifying partners and completing project development steps, from initiation to construction. For more information, contact FHWA’s Spencer Stevens at 202-366-0149 or Michelle Noch 202-366-9206. View the guide at http://planning.dot.gov/documents/ConsideringSecurityAndEM.pdf.
