The nation’s transportation systems continue to face threats that are more sophisticated than ever and changing quickly.  A risk-based approach is essential to applying resources to the solutions that can have the most impact on security and safety.

Multiple agencies are responsible for managing the entry and exit of citizens and visitors across our borders. There is a critical link between what happens at and between our land ports of entry and at our nation’s airports and seaports. For example, when Border Patrol agents apprehend undocumented aliens crossing the border, they rely on special agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement to identify, deport, and remove them. Cross-agency collaboration, and a shared view of the same information in every agency, is important to using scarce resources to combat the greatest threats.
