The Caltrans Rural Emergency Response & Recovery Conference Series
“Transit systems large and small need to be prepared for the hazards they face. This includes accidents, acts of nature, criminal activity, and even terrorist threats. Our goal is to ensure that, if faced with an emergency, transit staff respond correctly and work effectively with traditional first responders. This can be the difference between life and death.”
- James Ogbonna, Branch Chief, Transit Security and Emergency Preparedness for Caltrans
