As part of a continuous effort to
secure our nation's transit infrastructure, FTA has undertaken
an aggressive nationwide security program, receiving full
cooperation and support from every transit agency. FTA has
conducted risk and vulnerability assessments and deployed
technical assistance teams to help strengthen security and
emergency preparedness plans, and has funded emergency response
drills conducted in conjunction with local fire, police, and
emergency responders. Our nation's
transit systems are more secure than ever before. Security remains
a top priority for FTA. Therefore, FTA has implemented a program
to improve public transit focusing on three priorities:
