A pandemic can be described as a global disease outbreak. Addressing decision-making challenges in pandemic response in the transportation context is a multi-dimensional task, involving not only transportation/transit organizations, but health organizations, emergency management agencies, and communications outlets as well. This guide is designed to outline broad guidance on dealing with preparedness planning for pandemics and other infectious diseases such as seasonal flu. It provides information, tools, tips, and guidance on where to find up-to-date recommendations from federal agencies and other resources, prior to and during a pandemic. While primarily intended for small urban and rural transit organizations, this guide can be used by all types and sizes of transportation agencies and organizations with different levels of preparedness for pandemics
