This fifth volume of NCHRP Report 525: Surface Transportation Security will be of interest to officials responsible for protecting sensitive information about transportation assets; included will be chief executive officers, senior executives, operational and technical managers, law enforcement officers, security personnel, and communications and human-resources staff. Consultants, contractors, and others that work with transportation infrastructure owners will also find this volume useful. The objective of Volume 5: Guidance for Transportation Agencies on Managing Sensitive Information is to provide basic information about two primary elements that should be the foundation for any transportation agency’s sensitive information policy: 1. How to identify sensitive information that must be protected, and 2. How to control access to sensitive information responsibly. While this document was written to directly address the concerns of state departments of transportation, it is equally applicable to other public agencies with sensitive information related to transportation facilities or emergency preparedness. TransTech Management, Inc., prepared this volume of NCHRP Report 525 under NCHRP Project 20-59(14).
