Abstract:

As a result of the Federal Transit Administration's concern for the potential of terrorist attacks on our Nation's

transit systems, especially in a year when we are hosting the Olympics, a conference was held in Atlanta, Georgia, on

February 27-28, 1996. The purpose of the conference was to assist transit security specialists to recognize, prepare

for, and respond to the terrorist threat.

Invitees included heads of security from many of the 100 largest transit systems in the country and/or their

corresponding city or transit chiefs of police. Representatives from U.S. Government agencies who would be involved in

the event of an actual terrorist attack also attended.

Speakers included the Secretary of Transportation; terrorism specialists from France, Israel, and Japan; Federal Transit

Administration; Federal Bureau of Investigation; DOT Office of Intelligence and Security; Department of Defense; Federal

Emergency Management Agency; Public Health Service; New York Police Department Transit Bureau; American Public Transit

Association; Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games; Cable News Network; and the Red Cross.
