TCRP A-41: Final Research Report 43 Incorporating Resilience into APTA Standards and Guidance The study team worked with APTA throughout the project to identify ways to integrate the guide into APTA standards and guidance documents, to ensure breadth, depth and longevity for resilience implementation in transit systems throughout the United States and Canada. APTA agreed with the premise that resilience is most effective when integrated into everyday operations and asset management, and into everyday thinking about long-range systems and capital planning, among other agency domains.
