FORWARD This report is the product of a student project of the School of Public Policy at George Mason University in Arlington, Virginia. Each year since 2002, students in the Master of Transportation Policy, Operations and Logistics program undertake a group project as a capstone of their program. For 2003, the practicum joined forces with a seminar on critical infrastructure protection under the sponsorship of the Critical Infrastructure Project. These two groups of students addressed different aspects of these issues. On group examined regional transportation system vulnerability assessment and resource prioritization in the National Capital region of the District of Columbia, Northern Virginia, and Maryland. The second group examined vulnerability for tenants of commercial buildings in the Crystal City section of Arlington, Virginia, near the U.S. Pentagon. As Director of the Master’s in Transportation Policy, Operations and Logistics program, it gives me great pleasure to present this report. We greatly appreciate the cooperation of Todd M. LaPorte, the instructor of the Critical Infrastructure Seminar, and that of Kip Thomas, the research director for the Critical Infrastructure Protection Project. More information on the programs may be found at http://tpol.gmu.edu and http://techcenter.gmu.edu/programs/cipp.html. We welcome your comments and suggestions. We also welcome suggestions for future practicum projects. We believe that such practical applications of classroom knowledge are an essential and valuable feature of our Master’s program.
