Through our ongoing partnership with the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT), K&J Safety has been tasked with leading the revitalization, development, and implementation of the Authority’s DHS/TSA approved security training program for its roughly 10,000 Security Sensitive Employees across all six (6) required modes, which excludes ferry operations: heavy rail, light rail, fixed-route bus, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), commuter rail, and paratransit. The program is ~2.5 hours in length and is offered both online and instructor-led in-person by K&J staff. Our hybrid approach has maximized the MBTA’s ability to reach the greatest number of employees while remaining accessible for employees without regular access to a computer or the internet. Doing so allows the MBTA to ensure the one-year training window for current employees is met.
The training broadly covers the following subjects:
· Roles, Responsibilities, and Notifications
· Security Awareness
· Emergency Management Awareness
· Threat Preparedness and Response
Active Shooter
IEDs/Suspicious Activity
Vehicle Ramming
Natural Disasters
Conflict De-Escalation
· Transit Vehicle Emergencies
· Facility Emergencies
· Security Sensitive Information
· Personal Preparedness
