Tamping Technology
The Plasser heavy-duty, high speed, continuous action switch and production track tamping machine 09-2X DYNACAT is capable of tamping one or two ties at a time with an integrated dynamic track stabilizer. Tamping and lifting units are mounted on a separate satellite frame attached to the main frame. While the satellite indexes two ties during the actual work process (lifting, lining, cross-leveling, and tamping), the machine’s main frame with stabilizer system moves smoothly and continuously. Equipped with AGGS, ATLAS, PLC CAN bus control system, and it‘s unique design and construction allows the 09-2X DYNACAT to achieve production rates of up to 4,200 feet per hour.

‘Good Policy is Good Politics’
In a time that feels more polarized than ever, let’s look for common ground and consensus on policies, rules and regulations that make sense.
This past November, I attended the California Transit Association’s 60th Annual Conference where Pete Buttigieg, immediate past secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation, was the keynote speaker. After his nearly two-hour time on stage addressing an audience of nearly 1,000 people, I walked away with a central theme. Regardless of whether you agree with the political party he represents, attendees found him to be a compelling speaker that reminded us of a meaningful message in a time of deep polarization: “Good policy is good politics, especially in transportation.”
His point, that sound policy can cut through political noise, wasn’t just political theater. We saw this come to fruition in November’s general election, where transit ballot measures had a success rate of over 80%. Yet, again, voters across the country saw the value of investing in transit services. Albuquerque, N.M., voters approved to issue $1.63 million in general obligation bonds to support acquiring transit property, vehicles, equipment and facilities. Mecklenburg County, N.C., agreed to implement a one-cent sales tax increase that will raise nearly $20 billion in the region over the next 30 years, of which 60% will go towards transit. In all, 13 of 16 transit measures passed, equating to over $11.6 billion in investments funneling into transit.
These results demonstrate that practical, community-driven transportation policy resonates with voters. This inspires me to have an optimistic outlook. At a time where there’s a swirling of stories focused on transit opposition, it’s still possible to cut through this narrative with policy that makes sense and leads to investments reflective of community needs.
We should challenge ourselves to remain grounded in the progress we can control. Towns, cities, counties and states have the power to set their own priorities. Or as Buttigieg puts it, tackle what can be tackled at the local level. California’s approach to lowering carbon emissions is a great example. The state decided that setting a carbon reduction goal is good policy, so its legislature approaches climate-related action as good politics. This was seen in the signing of Assembly Bill 1207 and Senate Bill 840 in September, which extended what’s now called Cap-and-Invest. California is embracing Buttigieg’s advice: Don’t wait for Washington. Challenge Washington to catch up to you.
The industry should embrace this mindset with the next transportation authorization bill—shaping policy first and challenging Washington to meet us there. Yes, we’ve been living through changes that have been made with the force of a tunnel boring machine and at the speed of a maglev train, but this is why grounding ourselves in good policy matters. If we pause to take in our surroundings, we may find a landscape that’s not only ripe for new infrastructure, but ready for policy that makes political sense because it meets real needs. Instead of ruminating on what was, let’s focus on evaluating ideas and proposals on their merits rather than which side of the aisle it comes from. If a policy moves transit forward, it’s worth supporting.
When we adopt this mindset, it’s exciting to think about how we will tackle today’s biggest challenges. If the decisions we make now are rooted in good policy, then the solutions ahead may go down in history. With this in mind, I have hope that Buttigieg’s concluding remarks will ring true.
“These moments will one day be romanticized.”

any high-pro le public transit agencies throughout the U.S. have spent the past year boosting their e orts on safety and security, consistently communicating with riders about what they’re doing to deter crime and other unwanted behavior.
From updates to rider policies and the crackdown on fare evasion, to technological advancements and additional police presence on transit systems, 2025 was a year that saw agencies take meaningful and visible steps to show they understand and are responding to riders’ and o cials’ concerns regarding safety on transit. is report focuses on national trends in safety and security incidents and what speci c actions agencies are taking to address them.
Enforcing codes of conduct, new rider policies
Many agencies this year have introduced or amended policies that give sta more authority to enforce rules and codes of conduct. In California, the San Mateo County Transit District (SamTrans) implemented a new passenger suspension policy.
Built upon the district’s code of conduct and enforcement policy, the passenger suspension policy allows SamTrans personnel to temporarily suspend individuals for engaging in unsafe,

threatening or disruptive behavior on agency property or vehicles, as well as at bus stops and stations.
Community Transit upgraded its rules of conduct in November that, among other changes, allows for individuals to receive proper notice for a violation, as well as an opportunity to comply with clear information about how to appeal exclusions. The city of Albuquerque, N.M.’s, ABQ Ride began implementing its longrange transit safety plan after three years of planning, which includes establishing a new transit safety division. The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) Board of Directors adopted a banning policy that prohibits a person who commits a sex or sex-related crime or any assault on a WMATA employee, contractor or customer from entering or using the WMATA system, properties or facilities for more than 24 hours. The policy allows for appeals of any banning period longer than 24 hours.
Based on its rider code of conduct, Rules of the Ride, the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) launched a new public awareness campaign that outlines expectations of riders while utilizing its system. On Oct. 1, the state also began enforcing a new law that allows the MTA to ban or suspend riders from the system who violate the rider code of conduct.
Deterring fare evasion with modernized gates
Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) and WMATA have taken action during the past calendar year to make sure riders are paying their fares.
BART finished installing next generation faregates at 50 stations four months ahead of schedule. The gates include a unique door locking mechanism that makes swing barriers difficult to push through, jump over or maneuver under. Each fare gate array forms a minimum 72-inch-high barrier to deter fare evasion.
In 2024, WMATA installed new faregates at all 98 Metrorail stations. During the past year, the new faregates have resulted in a decrease in fare evasions of over 80% throughout the whole system, with the majority of the decrease occurring on the rail side.
Artificial intelligence (AI) integrating into safety tools
As AI has integrated itself into more segments of everyday life, the tool has also been used to enhance safety on transit systems. Hayden AI has launched automated enforcement programs with Culver Citybus, the city of Sacramento, Calif., and Sacramento Regional Transit (SacRT), the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) and the Southeastern Pennsylvania

Increasing police presence
Many public transit agencies have also invested in adding more police presence to their systems. The Denver Regional Transportation District (RTD) and TriMet have each launched police bureaus to their transit police divisions. In Texas, the Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority (CapMetro) Transit Police Department selected Mark43 to provide a records management system, advanced analytics and a mobile app to help the department modernize and enhance customer safety.
CapMetro also swore in RenEarl Bowie as its chief of the Transit Police Department and introduced additional officers to support a range of public safety responsibilities, from routine patrols and emergency response to customer assistance and community outreach. Denver RTD also named Steve Martingano as the agency’s next chief of police and emergency man-
agement, and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) appointed Thomas J. Taffe as chief of the MTA Police Department.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey added 71 officers to its police department, and WMATA celebrated 22 graduates from the Metro Transit Police Department Criminal Justice Academy.
Valley Metro introduced Inter-Con Security on board its light rail and streetcar systems. The security officers wear yellow uniforms while supervisors wear white uniforms, helping to stay visible while prioritizing rider safety and supporting fare inspections. The agency recently conducted a study of more than 1,100 riders that showed most have experienced significant enhancements in security, cleanliness and rider behavior. The agency has also seen a drop of more than 50% year over year in rail security incidents.
As part of its fiscal year 2026 budget, SacRT is making a $1 million investment in its safety and security program. The funding will support staffing improvements to monitor and increase visibility across the transit system.
In April, the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County reported that the Metro Police Department had reached full staffing for the first time in years. The agency is investing $7 million to enhance safety and security measures as part of the METRONow plan.
Smarter solutions for the world’s toughest challenges
Transitioning to zero-emissions operations can be challenging, but it’s an opportunity to optimize your system around new technologies. You need a partner who is innovative and will work with you to develop better ideas.

DEFECT REMEDIATION
The Search for Effective Preventive Maintenance Measures
While progress has been made in remediating Sound Transit’s control of studs, their exact root cause remains unknown.
BY JEFF TUZIK, CONTRIBUTOR
One of the most vexing and increasingly common rail defects that rail transit agencies contend with is the squat-type defect (stud). Addressing studs has been challenging in that they are not fully understood, and while contributing factors are known, the exact root cause(s) are not de nitive.
“Identifying and classifying the cause of rail damage is the rst step in executing an e ective prevention or remediation program,” Mark Reimer, director and co-founder of Sahaya Consulting, told attendees at the 2025 Wheel/Rail Interaction Rail Transit conference, of which Mass Transit magazine is the presenting sponsor.
Reimer and Sahaya Consulting’s experience at Sound Transit, where rapidly forming studs have been the focus of maintenance e orts for many years, have helped build a better understanding of studs and stud remediation. However, questions about how to prevent them in the rst place remain.
Many incipient rail defects can be controlled by regular preventive grinding. As defects grow deeper, remediating them requires signi cantly more e ort. According to Reimer, studs are problematic because they are known to develop quickly (within 10 MGT), and by the time they are visible, they are generally quite large subsurface defects—too deep to remove through a typical maintenance-grinding program.
for the defects to link up beneath the rail surface and cause large pieces of material to spall out.
Figure 2 summarizes some of the known characteristics of both squats and studs. Reimer notes the primary distinction is that studs can develop within 10 MGT and, unlike squats, there is little, if any, evidence that studs can develop into a transverse defect or broken rail.
“ ere doesn’t appear to be the same critical safety implications with studs,” Reimer said, while noting that rail breaks have occurred at or near studs, but there is no evidence that the breaks occurred because of the stud.
Based on data from multiple studies and multiple transit agencies, Reimer explains studs are known to have the following characteristics:
• ere is little to no plastic deformation.
• ey can form very quickly, within 10 MGT or less.
• ey have been found in both new and old rail, on tangents and in curves.
• ey always form in the presence of white-etching layers (WELs), a martensitic layer which is very hard and brittle—evidence of a thermal change such as a wheel slip or grinding activity (See Figure 3).
• ey do not appear to form in tunnels. ere are several contributing factors that appear to be related to stud development. One is the use of premium heat-treated rail steels.
“Light transit systems don’t see the same level of wear as freight railroads do, so the white-etching layers that form aren’t worn away quickly,” Reimer said.
Figure 1 shows an example of a stud pre- and post-grinding. When multiple studs occur in close proximity, it’s common
This may also be why studs don’t seem to form in tunnels, where the drier

environment leads to higher rail wear rates and more consistent friction levels.
Traction e ort has also long been thought to be a contributing factor in stud formation. e switch from DC to AC traction, and the addition of multiple driven axles that has occurred over approximately the last 30 years, coincides with the appearance of studs on many transit systems.
“ e signi cant increase in tractive e ort over the last 30 years may be a contributor, but we’ve also seen studs on systems with older DC traction and on systems with linear induction motor systems,” Reimer said.
Another theory is that studs may be initiated by wheel slips on work vehicles, rather than revenue service eets; however, there is no conclusive evidence at this time.
Studs on Sound Transit
When studs rst began to appear on Sound Transit’s system, the primary concern was that they were squats that posed a signi cant risk of a rail break. However, Reimer notes data from analyses conducted at Sound Transit and from previously published studies convinced all involved that these defects were studs and not squats, and that they posed less risk of a rail break. Figure 4 shows a gure from one such study which highlights the way the defect propagates horizontally and comparatively shallowly, rather than vertically though the rail (vertical propagation is o en associated with rail break risk).
“Instead of turning downward into the rail, most of the cracks we’ve sectioned start to migrate back to the surface,” Reimer said.
Studs rst appeared in great number at Sound Transit on a tangent track with co-occurring corrugation. Reimer says Sound Transit rst approached the problem by remediating the studs in small batches.
“ ey initially did some rail head weld repairs—when the studs were thought to be classical shelling—then moved on to rail grinding, rail milling and nally rail renewal programs to remove the studs,” Reimer said.
Rail Damage – Squats and Studs
Squats
• RCF initiated usually at gauge corner
• Martensite may be present
• 40-100 MGT to develop
• Clear unidirectional plastic deformation (ratcheting) of the surface layer
• Cracks follow sheared inter-granular ferrite
• Cracks initiate at about 20˚ to rail surface
• Hydraulic entrapment common
• Can progress to TDs
• Found in locations with high driving traction
• Are most common on the high rail of curves
Part of the remediation work has been to build a better understanding of studs and determine how to prevent them before they occur or remediate them very early in their development. Sound Transit has since phased out rail head weld repairs, as some of these repairs have led to rail breaks in conjunction with stud defects.
“We haven’t seen a stud develop into
Studs
• Wheel slip initiated in middle of running band
• Martensite always present
• Can develop within 10 MGT
• Minimal subsurface plastic deformation exists
• Cracks wander around and through pearlite grains
• No consistent crack angle inclination
• Hydraulic entrapment not involved
• Not seen to progress to TDs and broken rails
• Found in locations with high driving and braking traction
• Can be found in high, low and tangent rails

a rail break, but that doesn’t mean that rail breaks never happen around them; only that the stud itself is more a maintenance issue than a safety issue as long as it’s not combined with other track defects,” Reimer said.
There is one particularly stud-affected five-mile stretch of track where Sound Transit has done significant remediation work—although studs appear elsewhere on the system.
“Initially, Sound Transit considered that this stretch might be the result of defective rail,” Reimer said.
However, as work continued, studs were found in all types and ages of rail used in the area. Additionally, tests of stud-affected rails showed no inherent metallurgical defects, disproving the “bad rail” hypothesis, Reimer explains. As the affected rail has been replaced over time, studs have continued to appear, though lesser in number and severity. Nonetheless, Sound Transit has

continued to replace many of the most severely affected rail sections.
As Sound Transit worked to remove the studs, even at the incipient level, rail grinding proved to be inefficient on the system.
“Through rail grinding, we exposed the subsurface cracks of the studs but didn’t get to the bottom of them,” Reimer said. Removing these studs required multiple passes of a rail milling machine, reaching depths of 4 millimeters (0.16 inch) to 8 millimeters (0.31 inch)—an amount of metal removal that Reimer notes is uneconomical for small transit grinders.
Since the rail was milled, it has accumulated 30+ MGT, and there are few signs of studs redeveloping. The milled and replaced track sections have also been ground regularly, beginning in 2018, which likely contributes to the lower incidence of studs.
According to Reimer, as part of these preventive grinding efforts, consultants have used eddy current and ultrasonic technology to help “identify, characterize and map out stud locations.”

said. “We’ve had mixed results using both eddy current and ultrasonic technology to map out stud severity, so this is a work in progress.”
He notes that it’s even more difficult for these technologies to measure stud severity in their incipient stage, so visual inspection is still an important part of the toolkit.
Despite the remediation and preventive grinding programs Sound Transit has put in place, studs remain a persistent problem.
“We’re pretty confident that the presence of WELs is a key indicator of the root cause, but we don’t know how to measure the thickness or depth of WELs in situ, or at what depth or thickness it might initiate a stud,” Reimer said.
Sound Transit has implemented friction management in the form of gauge-face lubrication to address noise concerns, but Reimer notes that the addition of top-of-rail friction modifiers could potentially help control wheel-slip events and thus reduce stud formation as well.
While progress has been made in remediating and slowing their development, their exact root cause remains unknown. The understanding of squattype defects has evolved and continues to evolve. With studs becoming more common on transit systems around the world, this understanding is sorely needed. Still, knowledge gaps remain on how to prevent stud formation, rather than simply remediating them.
“Prevention is always preferable to remediation,” Reimer said.
The industry is working on it.

Why Penetration Testing Matters for Passenger Transit
By integrating penetrating testing into strategic planning and budgeting, agencies can evolve from a reactive cybersecurity posture to a proactive one prepared to withstand modern threats.
BY ERIN PLEMONS, CONTRIBUTOR
Modern passenger transit systems rely heavily on digital infrastructure to deliver safe, efficient and reliable service. From fare collection and passenger Wi-Fi to train control and signaling systems, technology is now embedded in nearly every operational function. As these systems become more interconnected, the risk of a cyberattack capable of disrupting operations increases. The impact of such an attack can be devastating, halting service and compromising sensitive data.
In recent years, ransomware and network intrusions have targeted multiple North American transit agencies, often exploiting weak remote-access controls, outdated software or vulnerable third-party systems. Federal agencies have responded with new directives and guidance to strengthen cybersecurity across the transportation sector. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) now mandates cybersecurity risk assessments and incident reporting for high-risk
operators, while the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) emphasizes proactive testing as a cornerstone of modern cyber defense.
Penetration testing, sometimes referred to as ethical hacking, provides a structured, authorized means of identifying vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled manner, transit agencies can uncover exploitable weaknesses, validate defenses and make informed decisions about cybersecurity investments and risk management.
CISA’s 2023 Cybersecurity Best Practices for Transportation Systems and the TSA’s Security Directive Surface 2021-02D both highlight continuous assessment and testing as essential elements of a comprehensive cybersecurity program.
The transit cyber threat landscape
Transit agencies operate within one of the most complex and visible cybersecurity environments in the public sector. Their systems often blend traditional information technology (IT), operational technology (OT) and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, creating a vast and interconnected attack surface. Adversaries range from nation-state actors seeking disruption or intelligence to organized ransomware groups pursuing financial gain. Hacktivists may deface passenger
information systems while insider threats persist due to distributed workforces and contractor dependencies.
Common attack methods include phishing campaigns that steal credentials, exploitation of insecure remote-access tools used for maintenance or vendor support and infiltration through vulnerable supply chains. Increasingly, adversaries are also taking advantage of poorly secured IoT systems, such as passenger counters, security cameras and connected fare devices. Once inside a network, they may move laterally between administrative IT and mission-critical OT systems such as signaling or control centers.
Frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK for Industrial Control Systems (ICS) may help agencies understand these threats in detail, mapping adversary tactics such as gaining access through exposed services, moving laterally via trusted connections and disrupting operations by tampering with data or disabling systems. CISA’s ICS advisories further highlight the evolving nature of these threats, providing actionable information for transit operators seeking to mitigate them.
What penetration testing is (and isn’t)
Penetration testing is the authorized simulation of cyberattacks to identify vulnerabilities in an organization’s systems, networks or applications. Unlike automated vulnerability scans that detect known weaknesses, penetration testing involves expert analysis and controlled exploitation to determine whether vulnerabilities can actually be used to compromise systems. The goal is not to cause harm, but to provide evidence-based insights into real-world risk.
It’s important to distinguish penetration testing from other forms of security assessment. While vulnerability assessments simply report potential weaknesses and compliance audits ensure adherence to policies or regulations, a penetration test actively evaluates whether those controls are effective under realistic attack conditions. Similarly, a red team exercise differs from
penetration testing in that it focuses on testing detection and response capabilities without prior notice provided to network defenders.
In the transit environment, testing typically encompasses enterprise IT systems such as email servers and fare collection platforms, OT networks like signaling and supervisory control and data acquisition and connected IoT devices, including surveillance cameras and passenger information systems. Because these environments directly support public safety and service continuity, all testing must be carefully planned, authorized and executed to avoid operational disruption. The principles and processes for such testing are well documented in the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Special Publication 800-115: Technical Guide to Information Security Testing and Assessment.
Effective planning ensures testing is comprehensive, authorized and non-disruptive to operations.

Planning and scoping a penetration test
The success of a penetration test depends on thorough planning and clear definition of scope. A well-scoped test identifies which systems will be examined, which methods are permitted and how safety and operational continuity will be maintained. For transit agencies, this process begins with developing a comprehensive inventory of all hardware, software and communications systems utilized by the agency or its third parties. These assets are categorized by risk level and operational criticality through a business impact analysis (BIA), a key step in cybersecurity risk management.
Once systems are identified, leadership and cybersecurity teams must define the objectives of the test. Some agencies may choose to focus on validating network segmentation between IT and OT while others emphasize assessing the security of remote access pathways or cloud-hosted passenger data. All testing must be formally authorized by executive leadership, and the rules of engagement must clearly outline what testers can and cannot do.
For example, rules of engagement often exclude destructive test methods or denial-of-service because of the potential damage to agency systems. Coordination with operations and safety departments ensures that testing occurs during appropriate maintenance windows or non-peak hours to prevent service disruption.
Data protection and privacy are also critical considerations during the scoping phase. Transit systems handle sensitive operational data and sometimes personally identifiable information from fare transactions, so secure data handling procedures must be enforced throughout the engagement. Many agencies begin their security assessment process by leveraging the federal CISA Cyber Hygiene Services program, which provides free vulnerability scanning for public-facing systems. The result of these scans can then be used to inform and prioritize targeted penetration testing engagements.
Testing and techniques
A typical penetration test follows a structured methodology that progresses through several phases. During reconnaissance, testers gather open-source intelligence and map the agency’s digital footprint, identifying domains, IP ranges and exposed services. In transit environments, this may include locating contractor virtual private network portals, maintenance interfaces or legacy web applications.
Security recommendations include:
• Enforcing multifactor authentication for privileged users
• Implementing endpoint detection and response visibility across OT gateways
• Tightening network segmentation rules
The next phase, vulnerability detection, involves both automated scanning and manual verification to pinpoint weaknesses such as outdated software, misconfigured firewalls or weak authentication mechanisms. Once vulnerabilities are confirmed, the exploitation phase begins. Here, testers simulate an attacker’s actions to determine whether the weakness can actually be exploited or if alternative defensive measures prevent exploitation.
Following exploitation, the post-exploitation phase assesses the potential impact of a compromise. In a transit context, this means testing whether an attacker could laterally move from an IT network into operational systems like signaling control networks. Each step is conducted carefully under strict operational safety guidelines.
When testing concludes, the agency receives a comprehensive report that includes detailed technical findings, severity ratings and remediation recommendations. Executive summaries translate technical outcomes into language to be used by decision-making leadership. The MITRE ATT&CK for Enterprise framework and the FTA Cybersecurity Toolkit for Transit Agencies offer additional guidance for aligning testing outcomes with established practices.
Case study: Targeted penetration testing engagement
A regional transit agency engaged a certified penetration testing team to evaluate its fare-collection system and supporting infrastructure. The assessment included both external and internal testing under defined constraints.
Externally, testers performed network reconnaissance and web application analysis against the agency’s online fare payment portal. Using industry standard tools such as NMAP and BurpSuite, they identified a cross-site scripting vulnerability. Controlled exploitation demonstrated limited access to a staging environment, confirming that proper network segmentation prevented lateral movement. Credential testing also revealed default administrative passwords in a legacy management interface.
Internally, testers reviewed domain configurations, endpoint security and credential management. They discovered unpatched systems susceptible to privilege escalation and lateral movement through SMB vulnerabilities. Weak password reuse across multiple service accounts posed additional escalation risks.
Recommendations included enforcing multifactor authentication for privileged users, implementing endpoint detection and response visibility across OT gateways and tightening network segmentation rules. The engagement produced a clear roadmap of prioritized mitigations that could be implemented without operational disruption, demonstrating how targeted penetration testing can reveal critical security gaps.
Using results for risk management
Penetration testing delivers lasting value only when results are integrated into an agency’s broader risk management and safety programs. Each identified vulnerability should be documented and prioritized using the Common Vulnerability Scoring System, which accounts for both technical severity and operational impact.
Test results should align with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, helping agencies manage cybersecurity risks across its five core functions: identify, protect, detect, respond and recover. Integrating outcomes into these functions enables agencies to track progress, address deficiencies and strengthen their cybersecurity posture.
Many agencies also align penetration testing with their safety management system processes to ensure that cybersecurity risks are treated with the same rigor as physical safety hazards. Testing results can be used to justify investments in security
technology, inform workforce training and guide policy development. Once mitigation measures are in place, retesting confirms that vulnerabilities have been effectively resolved.
Building a sustainable testing program
Penetration testing should be treated as an ongoing process rather than a one-time compliance activity. A sustainable testing program allows agencies to continuously monitor progress and adapt to evolving threats. It’s recommended that agencies conduct comprehensive testing at least once a year and more frequently following major technology upgrades or prior to an anticipated change to the threat landscape.
Security validation should also be incorporated into project lifecycles. Before deploying new technologies, agencies should include security testing as part of pre-deployment acceptance. This helps agencies understand the cyber risk of a system before it enters into the operational environment. Federal programs such as the TSA Cybersecurity Self-Assessment and CISA Cyber Hygiene initiatives offer valuable opportunities for agencies to benchmark their practices and identify areas for improvement. Finally, building a strong relationship with qualified penetration testing providers who understand the transit environment ensures that testing remains realistic, safe and aligned with regulatory expectations. Collaboration between internal
defensive teams and external offensive teams fosters a culture of continuous improvement and operational resilience.
From compliance to resilience
As transit systems continue to digitize, cybersecurity resilience is inseparable from operational safety. Penetration testing offers an evidence-based approach to identifying vulnerabilities, validating defenses and meeting federal requirements, but its greatest value lies in empowering agencies to proactively manage cyber risk.
By integrating penetration testing into strategic planning and budgeting, agencies can evolve from a reactive cybersecurity posture to a proactive one prepared to withstand modern threats. Leveraging frameworks from CISA, TSA, NIST and MITRE, transit operators can ensure that the systems moving millions of passengers each day remain efficient, safe and secure.

Safety: More than hardware
Building Safer Transit and Stronger Communities Through Security Innovation
By Kevin Scott Executive vice president of public affairs and security Bi-State Development, Metro Transit
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT SAFETY and security on St. Louis Metro Transit, it’s easy to focus on the visible changes—new gates, fencing and more cameras at our stations and on our vehicles. But the real story goes much deeper. Our Secure Platform Plan (SPP) moves beyond hardware; it’s a comprehensive, layered approach transforming how we respond to incidents, and just as importantly, making the entire bi-state region safer.
Our journey began in 2018 when we engaged outside experts to take a hard look at our system’s vulnerabilities. They produced 99 recommendations, ranging from technology upgrades to rebuilding relationships with law enforcement. When I was hired in 2020, many of those recommendations had already been implemented. I’m proud to say that today we’ve implemented nearly all of them. The blueprint created has become the foundation for everything we do, and we continue to build upon it.
The SPP is a force multiplier—an integration of people, technology and process. At the heart of this transformation is our real-time camera center (RTCC). Previously, our staff was limited to the review of footage after an incident occurred. With upgraded digital cameras that have grown from 800 to nearly 2,000 feeds, our public safety team can now monitor activity in real time across platforms, buses and trains.
The impact of our approach is measurable. Since rolling out the first 11 gated platforms, we’ve seen a 50% reduction in incidents per 100,000 boardings, and ridership is up significantly at those locations. Yet the impact doesn’t stop there. Our RTCC and special operations teams have become critical resources for law enforcement agencies across the region. Video evidence has helped police track and apprehend a serial offender responsible for multiple homicides; aided in an ongoing investigation by the Illinois State Police
by identifying the last known location of a missing person; assisted the FBI in locating a juvenile victim of trafficking; and provided the U.S. Postal Inspector General with video evidence in a mail theft case. These are just a few of the more than 3,000 requests we’ve fulfilled for outside agencies since 2019.
This collaboration is at the core of our approach. While our partnering police departments operate independently, we’ve built strong partnerships and a shared commitment to public safety. Our zoned deployment model means the same security personnel are present at the same platforms and riding the same routes, building relationships with riders and the community. It’s community policing, enhanced by technology.
The SPP is a force multiplier—an integration of people, technology and process.
While the progress is real, security is never done. It’s a dynamic, evolving process. We constantly evaluate and adapt because the challenges of today won’t be the same as tomorrow. Yet, one thing is clear. By investing in the right tools, the right people and the right partnerships, Bi-State Development is not only delivering a safer transit experience, but also helping to make the entire region a safer place to live, work and travel.
The RTCC provides real-time monitoring across platforms, buses and trains.

SAVE THE DATE
Presenting Sponsor for the Rail Transit Seminar
WRI 2026 Rail Transit Conference | Boston, MA
Sept. 1-3, 2026
The WRI 2026 Rail Transit Conference is devoted to examining wheel/rail and vehicle/track interaction on light rail and subway operations. The WRI 2026 Rail Transit Conference will be held in Boston, MA from September 1-3, 2026. The event includes a 1-day Principles Course (September 1) and a 2-day Rail Transit Seminar (September 2-3). Attendees will be from commuter rail systems, contractors, government regulators, researchers and consultants.
The WRI 2026 Rail Transit Conference will be held at the beautiful Renaissance Boston Seaport Hotel just two miles from Boston Logan International Airport.
The InfoZone is an interactive learning environment designed to augment the information presented at the annual Rail Transit Seminar. Our InfoZone partners offer high-quality technical information on the aspects of wheel/rail interaction that they know best. These sessions, built into the Rail Transit Seminar program, provide small groups of approximately 30 delegates with insight into the product or service that is the specialty of the presenting company. The goal is to promote a better understanding of the dynamic interaction between vehicles and track.
Sponsorships are available, showcase your products and services in the ExpoZone where all of our attendees will share food & beverage and thoughtful conversation.
