This paper will be concentrating on the protection of the Transportation system. The will include how the
transportation system is protected from both cyber and physical attacks.
Submit a research paper on a chosen topic pertaining to Critical Infrastructure Protection. Your topic must be
cleared with your instructor first before proceeding.
This assignment is a research paper, not an opinion paper, so you need to use the class readings and other
sources to support your thesis. Make sure you use APA style in-text parenthetical citations at the end of every
sentence where you are quoting or paraphrasing another’s ideas (or any information) that is not your own
thoughts and words, like this (Bergen, 2015, para. 14). I highly recommend you use the APUS writing guide
based on the APA style which can be found in the university library or at this link: APUS Style Guide for
APA. You should use supplementary sources to compliment the assigned readings based upon your research,
but make sure you use scholarly and credible sources. See the APUS Library Homeland Security Program
Guide for good sources, as well as the APUS Research Primer and the APUS Library Research FAQs.
Technical Requirements
Your paper must be at a minimum of 10-12 pages (the Title and Reference pages do not count towards the
minimum limit).
Scholarly and credible references should be used. A good rule of thumb is at least 2 scholarly sources per
page of content.
Type in Times New Roman, 12 point and double space.
Students will follow the current APA Style as the sole citation and reference style used in written work
submitted as part of coursework.
Points will be deducted for the use of Wikipedia or encyclopedic type sources. It is highly advised to utilize
books, peer-reviewed journals, articles, archived documents, etc.
All submissions will be graded using the assignment rubric.
