Summary
The Public Health Emergency Response Plan serves as a framework to guide transit agencies’ response to a declared or imminent public health emergency (PHE). This plan should be used in conjunction with the agency’s COOP, EOP and any other agency-specific emergency response standard operating procedures (SOPs) to provide comprehensive response planning. Transit agencies should consider aligning elements in this standard with their local health department’s requirements, plans and policies. Once the Public Health Emergency Response Plan is prepared, the transit agency should provide it to appropriate state and local agencies to facilitate coordination.
