Programs

The Emergency Response Preparedness Program (ERPP)is an online "mutual aid" tool designed to assist in times of these unfortunate disasters and other situations. This site provides a venue by which fellow transit systems and industry entities can volunteer and /or access resources in order to prepare for an expected event or in the wake of an unforeseen situation.

• ERPP-Emergency Response Preparedness Program

• ISAC-Surface Transportation Information Sharing & Analysis Center

The PT-ISAC has created the Security Technology Center (STC) for its members to provide them with an easily navigable database of security technology product descriptions, reviews, tutorials, and planning guidance applicable to the Public Transportation Industry.

Standards have become an important program activity at APTA and in the public transportation industry. APTA, through its policy and planning committees, has played a major role in creating active working structures within the organization focused on the development of standards.
