Standard Protocols for Managing Security Incidents Involving Surface Transit Vehicles

Overview Transit vehicles are ideal targets for explosives. Although some types of transit vehicles are less optimal targets for chemical or biological attack, in light of the broad scope of the general threat to transit, it is vital that appropriate response procedures be in place to adequately respond to such incidents and minimize their effects. This report focuses on inspection and routine maintenance measures for surface transit vehicles. It presents the protocol for evaluating potential terrorist situations, and highlights measures to take when responding to a verified or highly suspicious event.
