What is the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) doing to protect the roads in our state from terrorist attacks?
The Wisconsin State Patrol is an operating division within WisDOT. This organizational relationship enhances crucial security communication and response between local, state and federal law enforcement agencies and the entire transportation infrastructure. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is actively reviewing the entire transportation network to closely evaluate how various components are connected and what risks exist from potential threats. Plans have been in place for some time now regarding threats to the states highway system. For security reasons, details of those plans are not being released to the public.
