Title: Transit Security Update: A Synthesis of Transit Practice

Summary: This report, an update of the original TCRP Synthesis of Transit Practice 21: Improving Transit Security (1997), addresses terrorism, which was not included in the original study along with ordinary crime. Counterterrorism and anticrime security measures and practices, crime and security incident trends, and other related issues are covered in this report. Major issues and obstacles to security and policing management, as well as further research needs, have been identified and presented. The key elements of this Synthesis study include a survey of 120 transit agencies, with a 38% response rate, case studies, and a literature review along with input from industry experts and National Transit Database (NTD) analysis. Since the publication of the last report in 1997, significant improvements have been made to mitigate ordinary crime, and significant progress has been made to secure transit systems from terrorism. After September 11, 2001 (9/11), securing public transportation systems against the terrorist threat became an important and complex issue for U.S. transit operators and continues to be a prime concern of both domestic and international transit operators. For many decades, transit systems outside of the United States have been a target of terrorist activity, which has resulted in significant losses of life, injuries, infrastructure damage, disruptions to transit service, and economic losses to the affected regions. Synthesis survey results revealed that the terrorist threats of primary concern to multimodal, rail-only, and ferry systems were explosives, chemical and biological threats, hijackings and shootings, and sabotage. The terrorist threats of primary concern to bus agencies were hijackings, shootings, explosives, and sabotage. Transit agencies are well aware of many other possible terrorist threats, such as radiological attacks, cyber crime, and transit vehicles used as weapons, but these threats are considered to be of secondary importance.

Title: Personal Safety and Security on the Metropolitan Train System

Summary: The audit examined how successful Victoria Police (VicPol) and the Department of Transport (the department) had been from mid-2005 in reducing crime on Melbourne’s train system and making passengers feel safe when travelling. During 2008–09 there were more than 7 000 criminal offences reported on Melbourne’s train system and this equates to 33 offences per million passenger boardings. These offences happened on trains, at stations and station car parks. These account for about 75 per cent of all recorded offences on public transport in Victoria. Perceptions of safety are important because they influence how people behave, and they do not solely depend on levels of crime. For these reasons it is important that crime and perceptions of safety are managed as two connected but separate objectives. VicPol and the department have been successful in reducing crime on Melbourne’s train system since 2007–08. In contrast, the approach to improve passengers’ perceptions of safety has not been effective and requires focussed attention.

Title: Evaluation of Smart Video for Transit Event Detection

Summary: Transit agencies are increasingly using video cameras to fight crime and terrorism. As the volume of video data increases, the existing digital video surveillance systems provide the infrastructure only to capture, store and distribute video, while leaving the task of threat detection exclusively to human operators. The objective of this research project was to study and develop an evaluation framework for commercial video analytics systems. A state-of-the-art research literature survey was conducted. Identified strengths, weaknesses, future directions of research and state-of-the-art commercial video analytics products were surveyed. Product capabilities were identified by working together with vendors and analyzing the available literature offered by the providers. Use of analytic technology in transit agencies in Florida was analyzed. A technology survey among the largest agencies in the state indicates very low use of video analytics, significant skepticism, and poor general knowledge of the technology and its capabilities. Based on existing general evaluation frameworks, an evaluation framework for video analytics technology was developed, including annotation guidelines, scoring metrics, and implementation of the scoring metrics in the scoring software.

Title: Customer Perceptions of Transit Security

Summary: The objectives of this research were to: a) examine the extent to which NJ TRANSIT (NJT) security measures provide customers with a sense of overall security/comfort when using the system; b) identify which security measures appear to enhance customer perceptions of safety and what measures could further enhance customer perceptions of security; and c) examine what elements of a transit security public awareness campaign might resonate most with NJT customers. Observations from the focus groups conducted for this study provide insights into how NJT customers perceive transit security and how well they understand the role they play in transit security equation. The focus groups also shed light on which security measures are visible to customers and which measures apparently help to make them feel safe. Finally the focus groups confirm that NJT customers seem to be well aware of expectations regarding the need to be aware of suspicious activity or objects and are familiar with the “See Something, Say Something” campaign used by MTA and the Port Authority However, there was significant confusion regarding how and when to report suspicious activity/objects, especially with regard to what phone number to call. The study concludes that it would be beneficial for NJT to work closely with New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), the Port Authority, AMTRAK and other transit providers operating in the metropolitan region to ensure security initiatives being undertaken by each agency, at a minimum, are coordinated with each other. Further NJT should explore the potential for implementing joint public awareness campaigns with shared slogans, imagery and media strategies. Cooperating agencies should consider creating a universal reporting procedure and phone number that can be used across geographic and institutional boundaries to eliminate unnecessary customer confusion regarding when and who to call to report security concerns.

Title: Practices to Protect Bus Operators from Passenger Assault

Summary: This synthesis report addresses the important issue of protecting bus operators from passenger assault. The key elements of the synthesis study included a survey of transit agencies with a 75% (66/88) response rate, profiles of security practices, and a literature summary. Although serious crime in transit systems is relatively rare and constitutes a small percentage of overall crime, even one serious incident of violence can make media headlines and diminish the perception of security, especially if the crime is against the transit operator. Assaults on operators have caused worker absence, productivity issues, and increased levels of stress for the victim and for coworkers. Minor incidents can be precursors to more serious violence against operators. Therefore, it is important that transit agencies address the issue of operator assaults before they become problematic. "Assault" of a bus operator is defined broadly in this synthesis and includes acts of aggression that may or may not cause physical injury to the operator. Assault is defined as: Overt physical and verbal acts by a passenger that interfere with the mission of a bus operator-to complete his or her scheduled run safely-and that adversely affect the safety of the operator and customers. Bus operator protection measures ranging from policing, personnel, and training to technology, information management, policy, and legislation were identified and explored in this synthesis study. Transit agencies face different challenges and problems, along with different sets of institutional, legal, and budgetary constraints; these issues typically are considered when agencies select and implement security measures. Some measures are more appropriate for preventing certain types of attacks. For instance, conflict mitigation training is appropriate for reducing assaults emanating from disputes, whereas barriers may be more useful in protecting the operator against spontaneous attacks. Some measures, such as emergency communications and vehicle location technologies, focus on improving incident response. Video surveillance is useful for deterrence as well as for identification and prosecution of assailants. Audio surveillance is especially useful in addressing verbal attacks and threats. Agencies have helped to enact legislation on enhanced penalties for operator assault and have established agency policies such as suspending service for violating transit agency rules. The characteristics of assailants also influence the protection method. If most are teenagers, a school outreach program may mitigate assaults. If gang-related assaults are increasing, close cooperation with local law enforcement could be key. The synthesis survey requested respondents to describe their bus system and security characteristics; their policies on fare and rules enforcement; characteristics of bus operator assaults; and their assault prevention and mitigation practices, including training, hiring, use of officers and patrols, technology, and self-defense tools and training. The survey was distributed to 88 multimodal and bus-only transit agencies representing large, medium, and small U.S. agencies; the survey was also sent to several Canadian agencies and to one Chinese bus rapid transit system. Survey respondents represented large, medium, and small agencies and were geographically diverse. In general, the primary security provider for the respondents was local, county, or state or provincial police; more than a third used a combination of security providers. Respondents that indicated having transit police departments were generally large or midsize agencies. Practically all agencies have a standard operating procedure in place for response to bus operator assaults. About half of the survey respondents stated that their local laws provided more severe punishments for assaults against bus operators than for some other assaults.

Title: Designing a Public Train Station Shelter to Minimise Anti-social Behaviour and Crime in Melbourne's Metropolitan Rail Environment

Summary: The Melbourne metropolitan train network has experienced incidents of anti-social behaviour and crime across the network over recent years. Identification of this problem has lead to design research aimed at exploring ways to minimise anti-social behaviour, improve passenger security and the perceptions of Melbournes railway system. A literature review has revealed that good sightlines and visibility, minimised obstructions, sufficient lighting solutions, and controlled access are the principal factors that contribute to a safe and successful station environment. The key findings, used as guidelines, are intended to inform a design process in developing a potential design solution that is novel and adaptable. This paper examines the design and function of a shelter system design concept emerging from the research, and how it might be implemented into Melbournes train network in the near future. It is proposed that the system not only deters anti-social behaviour and crime, but also improves the quality of life of patrons at varying railway stations.

Title: Bus and Coach Security Recommended Best Practice. 2nd ed.

Summary: 1.1 The Department for Transport (DfT) sets and enforces counter terrorism security measures on a number of transport modes including aviation, the national rail network and the London Underground. DfT does not regulate the bus and coach sector for security, but it produced security guidance for the industry following requests for advice from some bus operators in the wake of the London bombings in July 2005. We have updated that original guidance here, reflecting developments in the terrorist threat and associated security advice. 1.2 This guidance has been developed to help you devise and maintain a range of best practice security measures to prevent/deter acts of violence against buses and coaches, and protect your staff and passengers, without impacting disproportionately either on the travelling public or the industry. It covers vehicles, stations/termini and depots, and generic security issues such as personnel security and building a security culture. 1.3 This guidance should enable you to gain a good understanding of the issues to consider and provide you with a range of options that you could implement, including basic measures that together with suggested enhancements you can draw on at times of heightened concern (e.g. if there is a bomb threat, or if the country moves to a higher level of threat). More information about threat levels is on the MI5 website.

Title: Strategies to Prevent Violence in Louisville Metro: Short and Long-term Recommendations

Summary: In early 2012, Louisville Metro Government began a process to assess its capacity to address Injury and Violence Prevention in the community by completing an assessment created by the National Association of City and County Health Officials (NACCHO). Initial deliberations of this group of leaders from Louisville Metro Department of Community Services and Revitalization, Louisville Metro Police Department, and Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness yielded the following findings: a need to implement initiatives to identify and bring to justice the most violent offenders, a need to expand the focus on violence to include suicide, and a limited capacity to provide high quality programs and services to the youth and young adult population. In addition, the initial NACCHO assessment highlighted the need to apply public health principles such as epidemiology focusing on health effects, characteristics, root causes and influences in a well-defined populationto the prevention of violence in Louisville Metro. On May 17, 2012, three young African Americans were killed at 32nd and Greenwood Streets, in two separate incidents, with one occurring during the investigation of the other. In response to this shocking event, Mayor Greg Fischer proposed the formation of a work group that would accelerate the work initiated earlier that year and engage the community in the development of short and long term violence reduction strategies for Louisville Metro. Based on his extensive experience in leading community efforts and his vast knowledge as a historian, on May 24, 2012 Mayor Fischer asked Dr. J. Blaine Hudson, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Louisville, to chair the work group. The work group, officially titled the Violence Prevention Work Group was announced June 7, 2012. With so diverse a group, it was critically important to have a plan open, on one hand, to broad participation from all ranks of the community while also capable, on the other hand, of producing a broad blueprint for change that could guide the future of the community. The human architecture of this plan was built around five exceptional committees and committee chairs: Community Building, chaired by Eleanor Jordan; Education, chaired by Dana Jackson-Thompson; Employment and Economic Development, chaired by Sam Watkins; Health and Social Wellness, chaired by Dr. LaQuandra Nesbitt, also co-chair of the Work Group; and Juvenile and Criminal Justice chaired by Judge Brian Edwards. Our stipulations were few but critically important: first, our deliberations would be open to all; and, second, our recommendations for change would be based solely on facts and data. Furthermore, we would use a twin approach that would allow for both recommendations that are system wide and as such would impact the entire jurisdiction; as well as recommendations that target a specific group racial/ethnic, age, gender, or geography) determined to be most impacted by the issues at hand.

Title: Prevention of Aggression to Bus Drivers

Summary: 4 l Prevention of Aggression to Bus Drivers 4 1 Background 1.1 The issue There has been little research about understanding aggressive behaviour associated with the bus industry in Australia, or indeed, internationally. This i s an oversight if aggression to drivers is present, as research on the impact of aggressive behaviour in general shows that there may be a significant and long lasting impact on the victim. Additionally, the limited work that has been done on aggression i n the workplace reveal s that an adverse impact can extend beyond the individual victim , to the ir family, work colleagues and the operation of the workplace . This report considers how to prevent aggression to bus drivers who work in Victoria, Australia. I t draws on the findings from a recent survey on the mental he alth of bus drivers in Victoria (Mental Health at Work 2015). This report also uses information on aggression to bus drivers from the academic literature and other sources , as well as relevant in formation from research associated with aggression in other workplace settings. Ideally, recommendations about prevention tactics should be based on detailed knowledge about : the frequency and form of aggression, the perpetrator, the location, the contex t and circumstances, the responses to the incident, and the current preventative measures in place and their effectiveness. However, t his topic is very new to the bus industry. Thus, this report can only be seen as an initial exploratory approach, on which future know edge can be built as preventative approaches are better understood and better targeted The following issues are examined in this report: What are the reasons for violence to bus drivers in Victoria? This would i nclude both the reasons why the assailant experiences poor control of anger (such as due to reasons of mental illness or substance abuse) and the specific circumstances that trigger the incidence of violence to the driver (why the particular driver was tar geted, at the specific location and time). It would also include, where possible, understanding of how the driver responds to the event given conditions such as personal abilities, knowledge about responding to violence, workplace and wider government poli cy and driver instructions. It includes the response taken by the driver once the immediate danger has past. What prevention methods are suggested from these findings and knowledge gained elsewhere that may lead to a reduction of of the occurrence of aggressi on and in the severity of the event?

Title: Transit Protective Services Officers: An exploration of corruption and misconduct risks

Summary: Since 2011, transit Protective Services Officers (PSOs) have been employed by Victoria Police to patrol metropolitan and major regional railway stations. Their functions include maintaining a visible presence on train stations and surrounding areas, engaging with the community and fostering a sense of safety. They exercise a range of powers including the power to arrest and detain people, to request personal information, and to search people and property. This report reviews complaint and use of force data relating to transit PSOs. IBAC identified three key areas of risk in relation to PSO conduct: assault and excessive use of force unauthorised access to and/or disclosure of information predatory behaviour involving members of the public. Engagement with the public is fundamental to the role of PSOs. This includes dealing with people who are vulnerable, for instance because they are minors, have alcohol and/or drug dependencies, are homeless, and/or have a disability or mental health issues. PSOs who have well developed communication and conflict resolution skills are less likely to be the subject of complaints, such as allegations of assault or excessive force, or unlawful requests for information. IBAC therefore recommends that Victoria Police provides PSOs with ongoing communication and engagement training. The report also identifies that some members of the Victorian community may not fully understand the role of PSOs and the extent of their powers, which has the potential to lead to conflict with PSOs and therefore complaints. IBAC recommends that Victoria Police takes steps to ensure the public better understands the role and powers of PSOs. This report does not consider the effectiveness of the PSOs in fulfilling their functions. However, it is noted that in 2016, the Victorian Auditor-General’s Office conducted an audit of the effectiveness of the PSO program and found that while there is evidence that people who travel on trains at night feel safer due to PSOs, there is insufficient data to assess the impact, if any, that PSOs have had on crime rates.

Title: Safer Than You Think! Revising the transit safety narrative

Summary: Public transportation is overall safe (low crash risk) and secure (low crime risk). Transit travel has about a tenth the traffic casualty (death or injury) rates as automobile travel, and residents of transit-oriented communities have about a fifth the per capita traffic fatality rate as do residents of automobile-oriented communities. Transit also tends to have lower crime rates than automobile travel, large cities with high transit ridership tend to have lower crime rates than more automobile-oriented cities, and transit service improvements can further increase security by increasing surveillance and improving impoverished people’s economic opportunities. Despite its overall safety and security, many people consider transit dangerous and so are reluctant to use it or support transit service expansions in their communities. Various factors contribute to this excessive fear, including the nature of public transit travel, heavy media coverage of transit-related crashes and crimes, and conventional traffic safety messages which emphasize risks rather than safety. Public officials and transit agencies can help create a new transit safety narrative by developing better risk evaluation tools, better communicating public transit’s overall safety and health benefits, and providing better guidance concerning how transit users and communities can enhance safety and security.

Title: El transporte publico desde una perspectiva de genero: Percepcion de inseguridad y victimizacion en Asuncion y Lima

Summary: Insecurity is the main concern of citizens in the region. Crime and violence distort the allocation of resources of governments, of the firms, and alter the routines of citizens. East study analyzes whether crime or fear alters the optimal decisions of women's mobility, to what extent and what policies could be improved this situation. Safety in public transport is studied an innovative methodology when considering both users and non-users users of public transport in Asuncipn (Paraguay) and Lima (Peru), to Do not bias the results as in other existing studies. It concludes that both the perception and the situation of insecurity of women in the public transport, especially in Lima, are among the most highs of Latin America. This conditions the options of women about public transport, directly affecting their mobility and causing greater loss of time and higher costs. Using methods quantitative we find that, on the one hand, the greater the confidence in institutions and the perception of security in the area of ​​residence, greater is the perception of safety in public transport and, on the other side, the longer the travel time and the younger the passenger, the greater the probability that a woman will be a victim or witness a crime on public transport. There are factors related to the quality of public transport that also affect the perception and Situation of insecurity of women. Some outstanding numbers point out that 78% of women who regularly use transportation public in Lima and 24% of users in Asuncion were victims or witnessed a crime in transportation in the last 12 months and that Sexual offenses represent a present problem in everyday life Women's. Finally, the sub-funding of crimes against women in public transport, since more than 70% do not denounce the fact.
