Transit agencies from around the world gathered in New Jersey Wednesday for the Fifth Annual Safety and Security Roundtable.

During the three-day summit, experts in transportation will share ideas and plans on how to make traveling safer. The main focus of the summit this year is protecting the U.S. from another terrorist attack. All of the national and international agencies hope to provide real solutions for the issues facing the rails and roads.

One suggestion for traveling mass transit in New Jersey was having the ability to scan all passengers for biological weapons while providing seamless travel. Other suggested security measures include building two separate fences along freight rail yards to secure the areas, and adding more police officers on trains. The director of the New Jersey Homeland Security says in order to put any of the suggestions to use, the federal government will have to help with funds.
