Summary
Safety and security certification (SSC) encompasses the series of processes that collectively verify the safety and security readiness of a project for public use. Since the November 2002 release of FTA-MA-90-5006-02-01, Handbook for Transit Safety and Security Certification, the public transportation industry has experienced significant project development and implementation changes that have impacted SSC approaches. This document summarizes and expands upon the Federal Transit Administration’s SSC requirements to provide transit agencies guidance to support the management and monitoring of SSC processes.
