Okaloosa County BOCC — May 19, 2015 — Transit Security Design Considerations

Chapter 6: Infrastructure on-site generators. Communication equipment may also deserve special attention on OCC sites. Communication systems may be critical for security and for operability throughout the transit agency’s network, and agencies should consider protecting any critical communication conduits or receivers from attack and incotporating redundancy.

Since every transit agency faces a unique set of threats and needs, it is up to each agency to determine which security strategies are appropriate for its particular circumstances Transit Security Design Considerations — Final Report, November 2004 6-55
