Real users are simulated via webdriver, so no interaction with invisible or hidden elements is possible. To solve it, add a div, click to div to make the dropdown visible and select an option after. Try something like:

<div class:"myclass">
<select id="selectID" class="transport-date-month ddlMonth"
...
</div>



WebDriverWait wdw= new WebDriverWait(driver, 300);
WebElement we = driver.findElement(By
                .className("myclass"));
we.click();
WebElement selectElement = wdw.until(ExpectedConditions
                  .visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("selectID")));
Select select = new Select(selectElement);
select.selectByVisibleText("SECURITY");
