The TSGP provides funds to transit agencies to protect critical surface transportation infrastructure and the traveling public from acts of terrorism.

DHS/FEMA headquarters grants management specialists will also conduct a financial review using the following criteria: allowability, allocability, and financial reasonableness of the proposed budget and investment information; and whether a recipient meets the financial and legal requirements listed in 2 C.F.R.
