  2. Past, Present and Future What are we protecting and how are we doing it?

  3. 350,000 average weekday passenger trips; approximately 100 million annually. BART serves 26 cities in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco and San Mateo Counties. 43 stations and 104 miles of track. Carries the same number of passenger-trips as the Bay Bridge during peak transbay commute (approx. 30,000). BART Moves the Bay Area

  4. PAST BART provides vital support to the Bay Area after disasters: 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake 1999 Oakland Hills Fire 2007 MacArthur Maze Meltdown Limited internal security protections.

  5. Security Sensitive Information (SSI) Information that requires the highest level of protection. Protected Critical Infrastructure Information (PCII) Information pertaining to infrastructure that requires the highest level of protection. Documentation Can be either SSI or PCII, or at the very least should be kept confidential. Electronic Communications Network infrastructure protection. PRESENT

  6. Protection of personal safety and property has always been a high priority. Identification of critical assets and required protection is a new element.

  7. Transit is recognized as a primary target Historically transit (bus and rail) has represented 33-40% of terror attacks. The West Coast is a target. Terrorists have successfully attacked subways in France, Spain and Japan.

  8. Partnership with local, state and federal agencies: Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Homeland Security (OHS) Transportation Security Administration (TSA)

  9. Partnership with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies: BART Police Department Local agencies throughout the Bay Area Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI)

  10. PARTNERSHIP WITH EMPLOYEES AND PASSENGERS • Our 3,500 employees work to keep the system safe. • Passengers need to help by reporting problems, suspicious activities. • Together we strive to keep BART safe.

  11. Using tools like: Cameras Barriers Increased police presence Employee training PROTECTING THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS VITAL

  12. Drills with other agencies: Natural disasters Nuclear, Biological, Chemical Criminal RESPOND, RECOVER, RESTOREBART plans for emergency response

  13. THE FUTURE How do we protect a transit infrastructure that was designed 50 years ago with open, public access and without an identified threat and risk? Technology How do we provide required security measures without removing the “Rapid” from the transit? Transparent/random security measures How do we fund it? Grants, bond measures and other public fund sources
