Infrastructure Security Working Group 

 

Workplan for Security Infrastructure WG

 

Chair:  Sean Ryan, MTA Metro-North Railroad

Last Meeting: 

Next Meeting: 

  

The focus of the Transit Security Infrastructure Work Group is to develop industry standards for transit related infrastructure.  Transit infrastructure is defined as passenger, maintenance and operations facilities, and their related assets; rights-of-way, including tunnels, elevated structures, and bridges; fixed assets, such as track, signals, traction power substations, and interlockings.  The Working Group will initially focus on the types, placement, and testing of security-conscious trash receptacles.
