Why is a tool box approach necessary Security Measures and Resources Tool Box • The domestic and international terrorist threat is different for each country and each land transport mode • A single solution is not the answer - governments & operators should choose the right security measures (tools) to manage terrorist threats • The tool box approach allows security measures (tools) to be set against scenarios • It avoids lengthy international debate on what are the right security measures • Allows information to be shared globally, implemented & updated quickly • Allows governments and operators to be responsible for their actions.
What is the SMARToolbox? • A readily available resource of global security information for land transport professionals • Intuitive and easy to use searchable database of security measures • Additional resources include: • A self assessment function • A security programme guide • External links • Downloadable for a local SMARToolbox version. The SMARToolbox does not contain classified security information. Classified data can be added locally 4
Security Measures • The Tool box concept was conceived by International Working Group on Land Transport Security (IWGLTS) and developed by US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) • SMARToolbox so far contains over 350 security measures which are searchable by a combination of filters, including : Mode, User Type, Asset Type, Phase, Attack Type • The security measures were provided by IWGLTS and other international security organizations , facilitated by TSA • This is a tool for governments and operators to use • Users can edit and delete security measures from their local copy, or recommend changes through TSA at SMARTbox@tsa. dhs. gov 5

Self – Assessment Tool • Multiple questions focused on key priorities in transport security • Assessment results offer the user an analysis, and can inform the user’s choices to filter the database to find security measures that best fit their needs • A printable report is available for record keeping purposes, and sharing results or progress made 11
Transportation Security Programme Guide The Guide assists users in answering the following questions: – Why does transportation security matter? – What should a transportation security program accomplish? – Who should participate in developing a transportation security program? Practical references include: – Appendix A: Transportation Security Functional Elements – Appendix B: Guiding Documents for a Security Programme – Appendix C: Transportation Security Stakeholder Matrix – Appendix D: Transportation Security Training Topics 12
Resource Links The External Resource Links feature provides users with additional information to assist in identifying and implementing security measures. The information is categorised by 15 security functions. 13

Conclusions & next steps • A single security solution is not the answer – The Security Measures And Resource Tool Box (SMARToolbox) allows governments & operators to choose the right security measures (tools) to manage terrorist threats • It avoids lengthy international debate on what are the right security measures • The SMARToolbox is an easy to use database and will be an effective tool for governments and operators • It allows information to be shared globally, implemented & updated quickly • An excellent example of international partnership working - IWGLTS members and TSA • Next step – add Risk Assessment and rollout the SMARToolbox. 15
