  1. 01

    How would DHS distinguish between vehicular terrorism prevention efforts already underway versus new initiatives that this reporting requirement would highlight?

  2. 02

    What specific data or metrics should the unclassified executive summary include to help state and local law enforcement improve their own vehicular attack prevention strategies?

  3. 03

    Would requiring DHS to publicly report on vehicular terrorism vulnerabilities and prevention gaps create security risks that outweigh the transparency benefits for citizens?
