Mass gatherings such as the Super-Bowl, NASCAR races, concerts, and political conventions are Terrorism Targets. Mass Transit and Light Rail Systems provide transportation for millions of passengers who attend these events. Between 1998 and 2003, there were approximately 181 attacks on trains and related rail targets such as Depots, Ticket Stations and Rail Bridges. Attacks have occurred internationally, which resulted in an estimated 431 deaths and several thousand injuries. Bombs were the most frequently used weapon in these attacks although firearms and arson have also been used. Are your passengers safe from these type of terrorist exposures?
Mass Transit Railways & Light Rail System are “SOFT TARGETS”
The Federal Government defines a “Soft Target” as a person or thing that is relatively unprotected or vulnerable especially to a military or terrorism attack.
One reason why American’s rail and mass transit systems are so vulnerable and inviting targets to terrorist is because they are vast, open
and easily accessible. There are over 10,000 miles of commuter and urban rail system lines in the United States. Each weekday, 11.3 million passengers in 35 metropolitan areas and 22 states use some form of rail and mass transit.
