Summary
Random counterterrorism measures (RCM) are a tactic that transit agencies can deploy to deter attacks on their systems by creating uncertainty in the planning process used by potential terrorists. These types of security measures are flexible and scalable in nature and can be conducted alongside other security tactics, as well as implemented as part of an agency’s response to a heightened security posture. As applicable, transit agencies, law enforcement and/or other security personnel should collaborate and implement appropriate RCM.
