Airports & Transit

Transit security is a matter of both public safety and regulatory compliance. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and Transport Canada mandate specific access control requirements for airport secure areas, and all transit facilities must comply with ADA/AODA accessibility standards and NFPA/IBC fire safety codes.

Fare evasion costs North American transit systems an estimated $500 million annually, with some systems reporting evasion rates of 15–25% without physical access control. The installation of turnstile systems has been shown to reduce fare evasion by 60–80% in transit systems across North America, with a typical payback period of 18–24 months.

Turnstile Security Systems provides transit-grade access control solutions that meet all applicable regulatory requirements. Our ADA swing gates provide the required 36-inch clearance for wheelchair users and passengers with mobility aids, while our optical and full-height turnstiles handle the high-volume throughput requirements of busy transit hubs.

All our transit installations include fail-safe emergency release mechanisms that comply with NFPA and IBC requirements, ensuring safe emergency egress for all passengers. Our systems are designed to operate continuously in high-traffic environments, with MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) ratings exceeding 5 million cycles.
