Infrastructure Protection Program (IPP)

The DHS Infrastructure Protection Program (IPP) is designed to strengthen the Nation’s ability to protect critical infrastructure facilities and systems. IPP is comprised of five separate grant programs:

  • Transit Security Grant Program (TSGP)
  • Port Security Grant Program (PSGP)
  • Intercity Bus Security Grant Program (IBSGP)
  • Trucking Security Program (TSP)
  • Buffer Zone Protection Program (BZPP)

These grant programs fund a range of preparedness activities, including strengthening infrastructure against explosive attacks, preparedness, planning, equipment purchase, training, exercises, and security management and administration costs for State, local and private industry infrastructure protection initiatives. IPP programs support objectives outlined in the interim National Preparedness Goal and related national preparedness doctrine, such as the National Incident Management System, the National Response Plan, and the National Infrastructure Protection Plan.
