A GUIDE TO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SECURITY RESOURCES

Since the attacks of September 11, 2001, public transportation systems across the nation have assessed and upgraded their security functions and capabilities. As a result, the transportation industry has produced an abundance of security-related resources, such as training courses and materials, guides, manuals, reports, projects, programs, seminars, and conferences. The Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) has recognized the need to organize this collective knowledge in a straightforward fashion. This digest lists many of the resources recently made available to public transportation systems across the United States. Transportation providers can now easily acquire and learn from these resources. The contents of this digest are as follows: Introduction; Key Players; Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Multi-Pronged Approach; American Public Transportation Association (APTA) Security Initiatives; Transportation Research Board (TRB) Security Research; Table 1: Training Institutions; Table 2: Study Organizations; Conclusions; and TRB Resources for Emergency Preparedness.
