We consider the transition radiation of transversely polarized electrons which intersect the boundary of a perfectly conducting medium. We obtain the spectral-angular distribution of the radiation. It is shown that the polarization matrix of the transition radiation has spatial asymmetry due to the correlation between the pseudovector of transverse polarization of the electron, and the pseudovector of electron spin.
