Jacksonville first TWIC port in Florida
The Port of Jacksonville will be the first port in Florida to initiate use of federal Transportation Worker Identity Credentials cards.
Starting Dec. 28, workers at the port of Jacksonville will be able to enroll for the national Transportation Worker Identification Credential designed to improve personnel security on the waterfront, the Transportation Security Administration announced last week.
The agency has phased the enrollment process for the biometric and photo identification card on a rolling basis to help its contractor to manage the application and card issuance process. The cards can be used to authenticate longshoremen, truckers, port officials and others who have access to restricted areas at any port in the nation.
