COMPONENTS THAT GO INTO PLANNING A SECURE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM?

Security Level Assessment
In conjunction with private security and local or federal agencies where necessary, you will determine the level of overall security required for your transportation system or event.

Secure Perimeter Assessment
Once the level of security is determined, the perimeter of your venue needs to be identified. A venue perimeter is the area surrounding any building or event venue that will require controlled access. The venue perimeter may be as near as the entrance gate(s) or curb surrounding a building or as far away as several blocks.

Identify Individual Access Needs
Determine who may need access to the building or event. Possible access categories can include the following:

• Management Team
• Performers/Players
• VIP's
• Invited Guests
• Ticket Holders
• Staff
• Outside Vendors
• Cleaners
• Fire & Rescue, Police

Grant Access On An As-Needed Basis

• Background check conducted
• Security clearance issued
• Name badge printed
• Picture taken
• Event ticket supplied

Recognize Your Weaknesses - Where in your building or perimeter unwanted influences can gain access.

All of the above determinations should be made before putting your transportation system in place as they have a direct impact on how your system will be managed and designed.
