Caltrans Director Will Kempton addresses the 2006 Response & Recovery Conference in Rancho Cordova |
Safety has always been a priority for California transit providers, Caltrans and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). As a result of 9/11, and the transit attacks in Spain, Great Britain and India this concern has expanded to include concepts of transit security at transit systems large and small. The tragic hurricanes of 2005 broadened transit's focus on safety and security further to include transit's vital role in emergency response and recovery to disasters of all kinds.
The goal of transportation safety, in rural California and elsewhere, is freedom from unintended harm (i.e. safety hazards) including accidents, incidents, HazMat spills, and loss of critical infrastructure such as telephone and computer systems. The goal of transportation security is freedom from intended harm (i.e. security threats) such as workplace violence, bomb threats, dangerous mail, commandeered vehicles, and racial/ethnic conflicts.
Participate in one of the Caltrans conferences and take your agency to the next level of emergency preparedness.
