TWIC enrollment seeing steady growth as April deadline approaches TWIC enrollment seeing steady growth as April deadline approaches 3/9/09 Quote:
WASHINGTON—Roughly three months after it was reported that there were ongoing issues regarding the implementation of the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC), it appears that significant progress has been made since that time, according to the United States Department of Homeland Security’s Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
TWIC is a biometric-based ID to be used by port workers to ensure that individuals who pose a security threat do not gain access to secure areas of U.S. ports. The TWIC program is expected to cover approximately 1.2 million port workers who require unescorted access to ports, ships, and offshore platforms that are currently regulated by the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002.
