Subject: Communication #7 - Potential Government Shutdown -

Dear Coalition Members:

As part of our efforts to keep Coalition members apprised of activities at
TSA, we are providing information on the effect of a potential government
closure.  If the government is closed, TSA's Contact Center
(TCC) will continue to operate and travelers can continue to call TSA Cares
to request assistance. For your convenience we have included the
TCC and TSA Cares contact information here in this email.   

*	The Contact Center hours are Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. - 11 p.m.,
Eastern time; weekends and federal holidays, 9 a.m. - 8 p.m., Eastern time.
The TCC can be reached at 866-289-9673. Passengers can also reach out to the
TSA Contact Center
<http://www.tsa.gov/contact-transportation-security-administration>
(TCC) with questions about TSA procedures, upcoming travel or to provide
feedback or voice concerns. 
*	Travelers or families of passengers with disabilities and
medical conditions may call the TSA Cares
<http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/travelers-disabilities-and-medi
cal-conditions>  helpline toll free 855-787-2227, 72 hours prior to
traveling with any questions about screening policies, procedures and what
to expect at the security checkpoint. A TSA Cares helpline representative is
available during all TSA Contact Center hours.
