Transportation Secretary Announces $92.3M in Port Security Grants

Last month U.S. Secretary of Trans- portation Norman Y. Mineta announced the award of $92.3 million in grants to 51 ports to enhance the securi- ty of ports and other facilities. (See full listing below). "Protecting seaports and port facilities against the threat of terrorism is impera- tive," said Secretary Mineta. "The ter- rorist attacks have resulted in a renewed focus on the security of our transporta- tion systems and we at DOT are aggres- sively meeting these challenges on sev- eral fronts."

At a press conference near New York

City's Staten Island Ferry, the Secretary was joined by New York City Police

Commissioner Ray Kelly, and Port

Authority of New York & New Jersey

Vice Chairman Charles Gargano, as well as a host of federal representatives including Rep. Bill Young, (R-Fla.);
