TRB conducted a webinar on Tuesday, August 14, 2018, from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM ET that featured research from the
Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP)’s
Legal Research Digest 50: Public Transit Emergency Preparedness Against Ebola and Other Infectious Diseases: Legal Issues.
This webinar examined legal issues that transit agencies may face when an infectious disease epidemic arises. Presenters provided an overview of federal and state laws and available court decisions affecting transit agencies' responses to infectious disease outbreaks, including potential cohesiveness among transit agencies' procedures and federal and state guidance. Presenters will also discuss developments in infectious disease response that affects transit agencies, such as the CDC's recently revised Quarantinable Communicable Disease rule.
The
slides are available.
