continue to enhance security against terrorist attack and other security threats to our Nation's rail and mass transit systems and other modes of surface transportation, including as provided for in the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (Public Law 110–53) and the Transportation Security Administration Authorization Act of 2009 (H.R. 2200 in the 111th Congress);

improve upon the success of the Online Learning Center by providing increased person-to-person professional development programs to ensure those responsible for securing our surface transportation systems against terrorist attack are highly trained in both securing those systems against terrorist attack and professional relations with the traveling public; and

continue to secure our Nation’s mass transit and rail systems against terrorist attack and other security threats, so as to ensure the security of commuters on our Nation’s rail and mass transit systems and prevent the disruption of rail lines critical to our Nation’s economy.
