3  More  specifically,  given  an  understanding  of  users,  the  CASE  research  team  determined  how  needs  could be met within the existing capabilities of the CAPTA methodology and CAPTool (e.g., updates to  the embedded data bases  such as  countermeasure  cost data,  range of hazards and  threats  included,  assets  considered,  countermeasures  included,  countermeasure  effectiveness  assessments)  and which  needs  required modifications  to  the CAPTA methodology  to accommodate  features or  interfaces not  included in the earlier methodology or application tool.    As  part  of  the  research,  the  team  received  approval  from  American  Association  of  Highway  Transportation  Officials  (AASHTO)  Special  Committee  on  Transportation  Security  and  Emergency  Management  (SCOTSEM)  leadership  to  facilitate a  session  to provide an overview of CAPTA and gain  insights  into agency approaches and needs as part of  the SCOTSEM Western Region Session Program  agenda held in San Diego, CA during October 2014. SCOTSEM acknowledged the need for tools to assist  in making investment decisions such as CAPTA.   The  CAPTA  session was  held  on  Tuesday  October  28,  2014  and  provided  an  opportunity  to  collect  information and insights from the attendees on how their state DOTs make capital investment decisions,  how CAPTA might be  improved  to  support  these decisions, and what barriers exist  to using  the  tool.  During the week of the SCOTSEM Session, the research team met with some of the attendees to obtain  more detailed information based on the discussion during the Tuesday session.  The main objectives were to:  1. Gain  greater  insight  into  the  process  for  making  transportation  infrastructure  investment decisions  Who actually makes those decisions?  What are the nature, timing and methods for making the decisions?  What extent are those investment decisions supported by data and tools? 2. Understand level of awareness of the current CAPTool and the barriers, if any, to use of the tool 3. Explore the extent to which an updated CAPTool might enable them to improve these decisions The following questions provided the basis for the session discussion:   How  do  you  determine  where  to  make  investments  to  mitigate  vulnerabilities  in  critical infrastructure?   Who (what agencies, groups, individuals) are involved in the decision making?  What role, if any, do you have in making investment decisions regarding capital investments in critical transportation infrastructure?  What is being used to support investment decisions? What evidence do they use?  What data, tools, and/or analytical methods do you currently use to inform those decisions?  Are  you  aware  of  tools  that  can  help  you  identify  critical  infrastructure  and  determine  their vulnerability to a wide range of threats and hazards? Who uses these tools?  Who else in your organization should we talk to?

TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Web-Only Document 233: Mainstreaming Transportation Hazards and Security Risk Management: CAPTA Update and Implementation provides an update and enhancement of the CAPTA methodology and CAPTool for realistic costing. The suite of materials produced include a quick start guide to use the CAPTool, as well as a dataset populated with example data. The project includes a PowerPoint presentation to help inform stakeholders about the updated products.

The report is related to information produced for the NCHRP Report 525 Volume 3: Incorporating Security into the Transportation Planning Process.
