| Abstract | The Federal Transit Administration'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 Security Program Plan. The System Security Program Plan should be a complete, well thought out guide to establishing and maintaining a comprehensive Security Program for the transit system and the entire system for which it is responsible: this includes people, property, procedures, and environment. This Guide is designed to help transit systems outline and author the sections of a plan in order to implement an effective Security Program. The Guide discusses each aspect of a security plan to ensure that when complete, the plan document will demonstrate management's commitment and policy regarding security; introduce the concept of a System Security Program; describe the transit system; establish the management of the plan; detail the Security Program by assigning responsibilities; explain how threats and vulnerabilities will be identified, assessed, and resolved; describe how the plan itself will be implemented to establish or revise the program; and describe how the Security Plan will be evaluated and modified. Additional information in the appendixes will make the complete Security Plan a valuable security reference. The Guide includes a transit security bibliography of approximately 200 documents. |
