FY 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Transit Security Grant Program ? Operational Packages
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Transit Security Grant Program (TSGP) is authorized the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (P.L.

ARRA TSGP will focus on the use of visible, unpredictable deterrence through the funding of Operational Packages for canine teams, mobile explosives detection screening teams, and Anti-Terrorism teams both due to their effectiveness in reducing risk to transit systems and their potential for job creation.
