Securing the Nation’s Public Transit against COVID-19 and other Threats

Understanding the spread of COVID-19 in our transit systems is key to our nation re-opening safely. S&T joined a research team that conducted testing in New York City as part of the Urban Security Initiative, a broader effort to detect hazards. This panel will discuss the value of this effort in the fight against COVID-19 and future mitigation efforts against threats-- be they natural, accidental, or intentional.

Panelists:
Mark Dowd, Chief Innovation Officer, Metropolitan Transportation Authority, New York City
Michael Berube, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Sustainable Transportation, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, @Energy
Shawn Ryan, Director, Homeland Security Research Program, Office of Research & Development, @EPAgov
