Port of Boston Workers Begin Enrollment for Federal Security Credential
Posted on: Wednesday, 28 November 2007, 12:00 CST
Port and longshore workers, truckers and others at the Port of Boston will begin enrolling Friday, Nov. 30, in the Department of Homeland Security's Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) program. The program's goal is to ensure that any individual who has unescorted access to secure areas of port facilities and vessels has received a thorough background check and is not a security threat.
Ultimately, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will establish fixed enrollment centers at 147 ports and will deploy mobile enrollment centers to dozens of other locations as needed.
On Thursday morning, TSA and Coast Guard officials will be available at 10 a.m. for one-on-one interviews to discuss the TWIC program and enrollment process.
WHO: George Naccara, Federal Security Director, Transportation Security Administration Capt. Gail Kulisch, Captain of the Port of Boston, United States Coast Guard WHAT: Media Availability & One-On-One Interviews WHEN: Thursday, Nov. 29, 2007 10 a.m. WHERE: TWIC Enrollment Center 28 Damrell St, Suite 104 (off of Dorchester Ave.) South Boston, MA 02127
