<br />Attachment A <br /> <br />Part Two - Program Specific Information, Continued <br /> <br />Transit Agency <br />Coordination <br />with Urban <br />Area Working <br />Group <br /> <br />New Urban <br />Areas. <br />Assessment and <br />Strategy <br /> <br />Transit agencies located in urban areas that receive FY04 UASl grant <br />program funds must coordinate their emergency plans with the UA WG. A <br />copy of the transit agency's grant program proposal and budget plan should be <br />shared with the UA WG. Any training or exercises conducted with FY04 <br />UASI Transit System Program funds should also be coordinated with the <br />UA WG. Sharing of information and coordination of activities is expected to <br />continue, at a minimum, throughout the performance period for this program. <br /> <br />NOTE: The transit agency must provide written concurrence that <br />coordination with the UA WG has occurred. <br /> <br />New urban areas must: <br /> <br />· Conduct an Urban Area Assessment. Newly identified urban areas <br />receiving funding under this program may use previously collected <br />assessment data from the 2003 State Homeland Security Assessment and <br />Strategy (SHSAS) program, which in turn will guide development of an <br />Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy. <br /> <br />· Develop an Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy. Newly <br />identified urban areas receiving funding under this program must develop <br />a comprehensive Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy. This strategy <br />must be developed jointly by all units of local government defmed as the <br />urban area and meet the requirements for a validated Urban Area <br />Homeland Security Strategy as outlined in ODP's Urban Areas Security <br />Initiative Administrator Handbook, which can be found at <br />http://www.shsasresources.com. <br /> <br />Note: Receipt of all funds is contingent upon submission of a validated <br />Urban Area Assessment and a validated Urban Area Homeland Security <br />Strategy. The Urban Area Homeland Security Strategies for the new <br />urban areas were due to ODP by January 31, 2004. <br /> <br />Continued on next page <br /> <br />FY04 Urban Areas Security Initiative <br /> <br />Page 14 <br />
