The national framework calls for cooperation and understanding between local communities, tribes, states, the Federal Government, and the private sector as they strive to achieve shared goals.

During an emergency, each responding agency is responsible for developing the capabilities needed for a timely and effective response by making assessments, and providing resources and information. In order for transit agencies to be prepared for unexpected incidents or emergencies, realistic and consistent training must be offered to personnel before and after an event. Effective response as described in this framework prefaces itself upon well-trained leaders and responders who have developed engaged partnerships and are able to achieve shared objectives. The aim of the 'Command-Level Decision Making for Emergency Managers' project was to develop a Transit Emergency Response
