• Abstract:
  The Transit Threat Level Response Recommendation provides guidance to the U.S. transit industry in responding to the various Office of Homeland Security (OHS) threat level designations. Changes in threat levels typically will be in sequential stepwise order. As conditions warrant, elevated threat levels will typically progress in order from lowest (green) to highest (red). Likewise, as conditions warrant, returning from higher to lower threat levels will typically progress sequentially. The FTA National Transit Response Model supplements the existing Homeland Security Advisory System (HSAS) Threat Condition model with Black and Purple designations to further define appropriate transit industry activities when an attack is in progress and during the post-event recovery of transit services and facilities. This web page explains in basic terms the significance of each level and offers broad guidelines as the types of actions that should be take. Broken down by threat level, 128 measures are outlined. Links are provided from this page to further information and related topics.
