NJ Transit to Offer Terrorism Awareness Training

About 9,500 NJ Transit workers will soon receive terrorism awareness training.

The program is funded with a $9 million grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Transit Security Grant Program.

NJ Transit says the training is designed to teach frontline employees how to quickly recognize potential high-risk individuals through "observation and assessment'' of their behavior.

NJ Transit is the third largest transit system in the country, providing more than 895,000 weekday trips on 240 bus routes, three light rail lines and 12 commuter rail lines.
