GUIDELINES FOR DEVELOPMENT OF PASSENGER, VEHICLE, AND FACILITY SYSTEM SECURITY PROGRAM PLANS

FTA's Safety and Security Program goal is to achieve the highest practical level of safety and security in all modes of transit. In order to protect passengers, employees, revenues, and property, all transit systems are encouraged to develop, implement, and maintain a system security plan and program. Increased security should be accomplished through the use of a systems approach with both proactive and law enforcement activities clearly outlined in the plan. The plan should be a complete guide for establishing and maintaining a comprehensive security program for the transit authority and the entire system for which it is responsible: including people, property, procedures, and the environment. A document designed to help transit systems outline and author the sections of a plan to implement an effective security program is summarized. Also summarized is each aspect of a security plan to ensure that when complete, the plan will (a) demonstrate management's commitment to and policy on security; (b) introduce the concept of a system security program; (c) describe the transit system; (d) establish the management of the plan; (e) detail the security program by assigning responsibilities; (f) explain how threats and vulnerabilities will be identified, assessed, and resolved; (g) describe how the plan itself will be implemented to establish or revise the program; and (h) describe how the plan will be evaluated and modified.
