Understanding Adaptation & Resiliency

​

Transit agencies across the country are increasingly responding to disruptions in service and damage to sensitive locations and transit assets associated with gradual changes in climate and extreme

weather events.

​

MDOT MTA developed a Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment in 2016 to identify sensitive locations and assets vulnerable to extreme weather events.  Since the development of the report, new data has been evaluated to identify assets at risk and to implement an Adaptation and Resiliency Toolbox (ARToolbox) to aid decision making in planning, design of projects, and emergency preparedness for each mode/division within our agency.
