Recent global events make it clear that the threat of terrorism is one to be taken seriously. For those who are attempting to kill in quantity and kill indiscriminately, surface transportation offers the ideal target. Because of the public nature of mass transit, there is often little security with not checkpoints as is the case with airports. The practice of terrorism has moved in varying directions in recent years, depending upon different forms of transportation systems and venues of operation. Assaults on public surface transportation systems have continued to take place worldwide without any indications of abatement. This executive overview summarizes three previous MTI documents: 96-1, Terrorism in Surface Transportation-A Symposium (March 1996); 97-4, Protecting Public Surface Transportation and Patrons From Terrorist Activities: Case Studies of Best Security Practices and a Chronology of Attacks (September 2001). It concluded with a checklist for use by transportation system operators.
