The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has awarded the Virginia Railway Express (VRE) and four other rail and mass transit agencies with the 2014 “Gold Standard” — the administration’s highest security rating. TSA Division Director Sonya Proctor presented VRE the award today at the VRE Operations Board meeting in Woodbridge, VA.
The ratings are part of TSA’s 2014 Baseline Assessments for Security Enhancement program, which involves a voluntary review of various security measures ranging from security plans and training to public outreach efforts and background check programs.
