Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport to Host TSA PreCheck® Enrollment Event
AMARILLO – Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport (RHAIA) will be hosting a TSA Pre-Check® enrollment event in collaboration with IDEMIA, an authorized TSA PreCheck enrollment provider since 2013.
Travelers will be able to enroll or renew their membership at RHAIA from October 7-10 from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. each day.
The TSA PreCheck Application Program is open to U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals and lawful permanent residents. The enrollment process is quick, convenient, and even faster when the application is completed online beforehand.
During the in-person appointment, applicants are required to provide identity and citizenship documents, fingerprints and a photo will be captured, and then pay for the application fee. IDEMIA offers TSA PreCheck enrollment for $76.75 and if approved, travelers get a five-year membership with the program.
Following the in-person enrollment appointment, most applicants receive their Known Traveler Number (KTN) in about three to five days. The KTN number must be added to flight reservations to enjoy TSA PreCheck benefits.
TSA PreCheck was created in October 2011 as a way to provide low-risk travelers with a smoother experience through airport security. It is a great option for travelers looking to save time. Enrolled members have access to TSA PreCheck dedicated screening lanes at over 200
participating U.S. airports nationwide, and 99% of members wait 10 minutes or less in a screening lane. TSA PreCheck passengers travel with ease and keep their shoes, belts and light jackets on and keep laptops, 3-1-1 liquids and food items in their bags.
Travelers unable to make the RHAIA enrollment event but still interested in enrolling in the TSA PreCheck Application Program can complete the application online and schedule an appointment at one of IDEMIA’s 630-plus enrollment centers nationwide.

Street teams of “walking billboards” will display key safety messages for drivers and pedestrians. TxDOT is targeting areas with high pedestrian activity or previously reported pedestrian crashes. AMARILLO – As daylight hours decrease, pedestrian risks increase. That’s why the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is sharing important pedestrian safety messages throughout the state this month. By providing compelling data and clear safety tips for drivers and pedestrians alike, TxDOT hopes to prevent crashes, especially during the fall and winter months when pedestrian fatalities and serious injuries tend to peak. As part of its Be Safe. Drive Smart. campaign, TxDOT will deploy street teams of walking billboards to Amarillo and other high-traffic areas throughout the state. The key message for drivers and pedestrians is simple: Stay alert, follow traffic laws and watch out for one another. The Be Safe. Drive Smart. campaign is an important part of TxDOT’s Drive like a Texan: Kind. Courteous. Safe. initiative. Drive like a Texan is about embracing the pride, camaraderie and responsibility of being a Texan on the road. By making thoughtful choices, we can all help keep each other safe. Learn more at DriveLikeATexan.com. Contact Media Relations at MediaRelations@txdot.gov or (512) 463-8700. The information contained in this report represents reportable data collected from the Texas Peace Officer’s Crash Report (CR-3). This information was received and processed by the department as of July 18, 2025. To view additional traffic safety data, visit TxDOT’s Traffic Safety Data Portal online. The Texas Department of Transportation is responsible for maintaining 80,000 miles of road and for supporting aviation, maritime, rail and public transportation across the state.
