A number of different Security and Emergency Management programs, materials, and staff are available through APTA. These help ensure that transit agencies are successful in maintaining and improving the security of their employees, infrastructure and customers throughout their systems.
APTA offers a wide variety of services to the industry and emphasizes security and emergency management through Peer Reviews, the Public Transportation Information Sharing & Analysis Center (PT-ISAC), the Public Transit Homeland Security Information Network (PT-HSIN) and Security Standards Program, along with our committees, collaboration and coordination with our Federal partners and stakeholders. APTA assists members by ensuring that best practices and industry standards are developed and shared, ultimately resulting in a safer and more secure environment.
