Considering Security and Emergency Management in the Planning of Transportation Projects  

This guideline was developed in coordination with the FHWA's Office of Planning, Office of Bridge Technology and the Program Manager for Transportation Security.

(35 page PDF)

 

This guide is meant to increase the awareness of the transportation infrastructure project community, especially those individuals working for a State DOT or an MPO, about security and emergency management.

The intended primary audience is those individuals - planners of new projects - responsible for developing new highway-related infrastructure projects.

For the purpose of this guide, a "planner of new transportation projects" may be someone responsible for:
*  Developing the project's initial concept. 
*  Designing the project.  
*  Reviewing the project specifications.  
*  Simply assisting with the project development. 

The principles discussed herein, while provided for project planners as described above, can certainly be used by any transportation planner, whether that person is:
*  Conducting long term or strategic planning.  
*  Looking at specific transportation improvement programs.  
* Conducting regional and corridor planning, with municipality, other regional, MPO and/or State project planners.  
* Developing plans for retrofitting or replacing existing   infrastructure.
