Bush Administration Divvies Up Transportation Security Funds
The Bush administration has divided up nearly a half billion dollars in transportation security funds. Posted: 1:30 PM May 10, 2007 |

(May 10, 2007)--The Bush administration Thursday divvied up $445 million in grants to protect commuters, shipping ports, and transit systems from attacks.
It's a boost of more than ten percent from last year.
The Department of Homeland Security devoted most of the money to seaports and mass transit.
Smaller amounts will help protect passenger rail carrier Amtrak, and bus services like Dallas-based Greyhound and Trailways, as well as trucking and passenger ferry services.
City and state officials who measure their funding against previous years closely scrutinize grant awards.
The bigger fight is usually over which cities are judged at highest risk of attack, and how much money they each get.
