Terrorist attacks in London, Madrid and Moscow have illustrated the fragility of urban transport systems (metro, bus and train).

The Urban Transport Security workshop will provide a platform for experts and practitioners from OSCE participating States and representatives from the public and private transport sector to address this vulnerability. Participants will share experiences and good practices as well as information about existing and potential new measures and methods that can be used to reduce the possibility or mitigate the consequences of attacks.
