Journal of Public Transportation Article in Volume 17, Issue 1 (2014) by Renee Haider, Eduardo Martinez. In the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the transit industry emerged as a leader in leveraging the value and power of the public’s “eyes and ears” to promote system security. Although a public awareness program is widely viewed as a core component of a transit agency’s system security plan, efforts to assess whether the messages are reaching transit riders and to identify obstacles to participation have been limited.
