Exercise Information System

The Exercise Information System (EXIS®) is a voluntary, online tool developed by TSA to support the mission of a program developed and implemented by TSA to fulfill requirements of the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (9/11 Act). These statutory requirements led to the development of the Intermodal Security Training Exercise Program (I-STEP) for the nation’s Transportation Systems Sector (TSS). I-STEP is a security exercise program focused on security in the TSS. The program assists transportation partners to build and sustain security preparedness to protect travelers, enhance national resilience, and identify capability gaps and needed resources. Within this program, EXIS® is an interactive resource for the TSS. As an interactive system, information collection is necessary for the program to be successful. Use of EXIS® is completely voluntary for industry and government entities (Federal, State, and Local) within the TSS. While TSA expects the EXIS® tool to be useful to industry, as described above, use of the system would not guarantee compliance with any existing or future TSA, DHS, or other Federal regulation.
