  1. APEC Land IS-CAPProject Overview Samuel C. Custodio Transport and Traffic Planners Planners, Inc.

  2. Background of the Project • Within the overall objectives of APEC • Achieve the liberalization of transport services and enhance the safety and security of APEC transport systems to encourage economic development in the Asia-Pacific region

  3. Background of the Project • 4th Transport Ministers’ Meeting in Bali, Indonesia, 27-29 July 2004 • Recognized that transnational organized crimes are increasingly posing threats to transport security. • Prioritized the improvement of transport security and safety in the region, implement goals of the Leaders’ Statement on Counter-Terrorism

  4. Background of the Project • Transport Ministers’ Meeting in Tokyo, Japan, in January 2006 • Upheld the need to address rail and mass transit security issues • Facilitate the sharing of best practices and enhanced global cooperation in passenger land/rail transport security

  5. Background of the Project • Present Situation • No international organization for public land/rail transport that acts as a regulatory body or clearing house for internationally accepted standards and guidelines • Individual economies made their own initiatives to address land/rail transport security threats • Identify vulnerabilities and mitigating measures

  6. Background of the Project • Course of Action • International collaboration is needed to address threats and identify best mitigation strategies • Member economies would benefit from sharing of ideas that would eventually lead to a set of guidelines or principles when assessing land/rail transport security and safety risks and threats

  7. Background of the Project • The Philippines proposed the Land-ISCAP in 2005 to draw up and design a set of Terms of Reference & Rules of Engagement, establish an Advocacy Campaign to refocus the culture of Public Land Transport Commuters and enhance their vigilance & awareness on pro-active security program plan of actions against terrorism, particularly in Public Land Transport Critical and Strategic Infrastructures and Services (PLT-CSIS)

  8. Background of the Project • Short-term: • Environmental Scanning, SWOT Analysis and identification of specific Public Land Transport Critical and Strategic Infrastructures and Services. • Dialogues, Consultations and Seminar Workshops with APEC-wide identified stakeholders (Government Agency Representatives, Commuter Representatives, Transport Associations, NGOs/POs and other advocates) to draw up a comprehensive and codified Terms of Reference (TOR) and Rules of Engagements (REs) in PLT-CSIS.

  9. Background of the Project • Short-term: • Advocacy Campaign, including sloganeering and communications planning, printing and distribution of materials on TOR & REs on PLT-CSIS. • Policy formulation on infrastructure and facility spatial readjustments and security requirements. • Value Formation, Re-orientation and Re-tooling on Commuter Culture relative to security of PLT-CSIS.

  10. Background of the Project • Medium and Long-term: • Incorporate the codified TOR and REs under the Land Transport Action Plans • Basis and inputs to Legislative Agenda on Counter-Terrorism • Inputs to Best Practices and Implementation as a precursor to APEC-wide and/or International Land Transportation Safety and Security Standards.

  11. Background of the Project • Project was approved for funding in 2007 • Project ID # TPT05-2007 • Project Overseer • Usec. Cecilio R. Penilla • Office for Transportation Security • Department of Transportation and Communications • Project Consultant • Transport and Traffic Planners (TTPI) Inc.

  12.

  13. Expected Outputs of the Study • 1. Conceptual Framework, Work Outline, General Guidelines and Work and Financial Plan for: • Environmental scanning, SWOT Analysis and identification of Public Land Transport Critical and Strategic Infrastructure and Services (PLT-CSIS) • Dialogues, Consultations and Seminar Workshops with stakeholders to draw up TORs and REs in PLT-CSIS

  14. Expected Outputs of the Study • 1. Conceptual Framework, Work Outline, General Guidelines and Work and Financial Plan for: • Advocacy Campaign, including sloganeering and communications planning, printing and distribution of materials on TORs and REs on PLT-CSIS • Policy formulation on infrastructure and facility spatial requirements and Value Formation, Re-orientation and Re-tooling

  15. Expected Outputs of the Study • 2. Identification of the gaps of current land/rail transport security mitigation measures on existing PLT-CSIS in all APEC economies • 3. Appropriate survey forms/ questionnaires and coordinative mechanisms and instruments for essential and relevant information exchange

  16. Expected Outputs of the Study • 4. Summary of responses to the Survey • 5. Preliminary meeting (teleconference) - deleted • 6. Two-day Plenary Conference • 7. Policy Guidelines on PLT-CSIS • 8. Publication and dissemination of the Policy Guidelines on PLT-CSIS
