This paper introduces cybersecurity tools and resources that are relevant and applicable to transportation - such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF). A process is then discussed as to how the NIST CSF could be adapted to the planning and operations within transportation systems management and operations (TSMO).

Two-way separated bicycle lanes can be challenging to implement due to the many conflicting movements involved. A gated railroad grade crossing requires particularly high levels of care in handling crossing movements. Adding bicycle movements outside of the vehicle space can greatly increase the complexity.
