Transit Agency Security and Emergency Management Protective Measures This document has been developed by the Federal Transit Administration, in consultation with the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Transportation Security Administration and Office of Grants and Training and the American Public Transportation Association. It replaces the prior document entitled, Federal Transit Administration Transit Threat Level Response Recommendation. This document provides a more comprehensive systems approach and framework for a transit agency to use in integrating its entire security and emergency management programs with the DHS Homeland Security Advisory System's five color-coded graduated threat conditions. In addition, this document provides protective measures to be implemented in the event of an Attack or Active Incident and during the Recovery phase following an incident. |
