Below is the uncorrected machine-read text of this chapter, intended to provide our own search engines and external engines with highly rich, chapter-representative searchable text of each book. Because it is UNCORRECTED material, please consider the following text as a useful but insufficient proxy for the authoritative book pages.

o Commitment to action. Students are polled at various times during the class to assess whether certain actions make sense for their scale of operations. Discussions focus on encouraging students to see the HSP as the central link of all the procedures at the transit service and central to their entire management approach. (Ultimately, the first goal of every transit service is safe operations, and, when activities are seen as relating to this primary goal, the activities are made more palatable.) At the end of the course, students are asked to commit to when they will complete their plan. They are asked to set out exactly, in terms of weeks or months, how long it will take them to complete the plan. This action of “committing by testifying” in front of the class and the instructor helps to encourage action when students return to their home office. Use of the three above techniques will help participants understand the material and will ensure that they take action and continue working when they return to their home offices. Conceptual Agenda and Elapsed Times The following agenda shows the total elapsed time and topics for an 8-hour workshop based on the HSP template. The total time for each topic is also shown. Note that lunch or a half-day break occurs at the 4 hours elapsed time point. The course content has been prepared with this format so the course can be given in one 8-hour day or in two half-day sessions. In general, if at all possible, the course is more effective when the course is given over a 2-day period to allow for more networking and, it is believed, more material retention. Also, by giving the course over a 2-day period, the occasional issue of “lunch stragglers” or serving lunch is avoided. 5

TRB's Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) Report 86: Public Transportation Security, Volume 10 -- Hazard and Security Plan Workshop: Instructor Guide is designed to assist rural, small urban, and community-based passenger transportation agencies in creating hazard and security plans or in evaluating and modifying existing plans, policies, and procedures consistent with the National Incident Management System.

Appendices to the report (which are shipped on a CD bound into the printed report) are linked to below.

The TCRP Report 86: Public Transportation Security series assembles relevant information into single, concise volumes, each pertaining to a specific security problem and closely related issues. These volumes focus on the concerns that transit agencies are addressing when developing programs in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and the anthrax attacks that followed. Future volumes of the report will be issued as they are completed.
