United States Transportation Modes
Introduction
Transportation in the United States provides facility to the people to travel through roads, air, rail and waterways. Most of the people prefer to travel by road for shorter distances and for longer distances they prefer by air. People can also send their parcels by using cargo services. United States transportation system is offering unprecedented levels of mobility but it is not able to meet the requirements of all the users, and they are currently searching for improvements they require to provide customer safety, quick delivery and environmental performance. Current transportation systems may provide a high level of convenience to people, but they are very costly for many people and may not be able to adapt future needs.

Transportation system sector is responsible for the modes of transportation. The Department of Homeland Security and the department of transportation are designated for transportation system sector. The responsibility of the transportation system is to provide people with safety and move them quickly and securely through the country and overseas (Transportation Systems Sector, 2009).

Conclusion

However, they have made services which will help them in resolving these issues. United States Homeland security is one of the department who is responsible for controlling terrorism and provide security to the public (COUNCIL, 2002). Transportation security can be best achieved by designing a security system in which multiple security features are connected. Future systems are cheaper, faster and more convenient and address the emerging needs of society.
