摘要：	All-time high levels of funding are now available to restore and modernize our nation's transportation infrastruc-ture and advance the state of public transit in America. Likewise, as the recovery from the worldwide pandemic continues to slowly come into focus, now is the time for public transit agencies to take advantage of this window of opportunity to position themselves for the future. Cybersecurity and cloud-based solutions should be at the top of every agency's investment priorities to ensure their ITS infrastructure is ready for the future. Below are some key questions that executive directors and agency leadership should be asking to make sure they prioritize their investments wisely.1 .Why should my organization worry about information security? There is a common statistic cited from recent studies that states a cyberattack occurs every 39 seconds. Cybercrime is estimated to reach costs in the trillions within the next few years unless we start implementing strong countermeasures now. Cybersecurity is a cornerstone of our national security policy and APTA continues to take a leadership position to advance this cause. The latest round of federal funding for transportation has made the implementation of cybersecurity not only a focus, but a requirement. Agencies will be held accountable and audited to demonstrate the steps they are taking to address this challenge.
