Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation: State Transportation, Regional, and International Strategies: Synthesis

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: This synthesis and literature review requested by Seth Start, Sustainable Transportation Manager, Washington State Department of Transportation, provides information on strategies other state DOT's countries, and local agencies are using to prepare for climate change adaptation and mitigation of the impacts. This Synthesis gathered published information on how other state DOT's and countries are addressing adaptation of highway infrastructure to the future impacts of climate change. Where available, international policies and practices that support the development and implementation of climate change adaptation strategies, are included to assist State DOT's and local agencies in their planning and procedures, design for pavement and bridges, asset management approaches, and other transportation system management activities. The main focus is on transportation infrastructure; related information that may transferable to transportation facilities was included as available.\n
