evaluating which information is relevant in assessing the threats against Cabarrus County <br />Transportation Service. Some of the questions answered in our threat analysis include. <br />• How safe are vehicles and equipment? <br />• How secure is the transportation facility? <br />• What event(s) or act(s) of nature has a reasonable probability of occurring? <br />• Have similar -sized agencies been targets of criminal or terrorist acts in the past? <br />• How significant would the impacts be? <br />A vulnerability is anything that can make an agency more susceptible to a threat. This includes <br />vulnerabilities in safety/security procedures and practices involving transit facilities, transit <br />equipment and transit staff. Vulnerability analysis identifies specific weaknesses to threat that <br />must be mitigated. <br />Threat and Vulnerability Identification <br />The primary method used by Cabarrus County Transportation Service to identify the threats to <br />the transit system and the vulnerabilities of the system is the collection of historical data and <br />incident reports submitted by drivers and supervisors and information provided by federal and <br />state agencies and local law enforcement. <br />Information resources include but are not limited to the following: <br />• Operator incident reports <br />• Risk management reports <br />• Bus maintenance reports <br />• Marketing surveys <br />• Passengers' letters and telephone calls <br />• Management's written concerns <br />• Staff meeting notes <br />• Statistical reports <br />• Special requests <br />• Historical data <br />• Information from public safety officials <br />Cabarrus County Transportation Service reviews safety/security information resources and <br />determines if additional methods should be used to identify system threats and vulnerabilities. <br />This includes a formal evaluation program to ensure that safety/security procedures are <br />maintained and that safety/security systems are operable.

Equipment preparedness <br />2. Employee proficiency <br />3. System effectiveness <br />A completed "PRIORITIZED VULNERABILITY REPORT" is found in the <br />section of this document entitled SECURITY PLAN SUPPORTING <br />DOCUMENTS at SECTION 7.4. <br />Attachment number 5 \n <br />F-5 Page 319 <br />
