Abstract:

CTA was selected as one of seven pilots funded by FTA to advance the state of practice for adapting transit systems to the impacts of climate change. This effort is in keeping with broader long-term goals to address state-of-good-repair needs and to enhance transit safety. The CTA pilot develops quantitative and qualitative tools that can be used by CTA and peer agencies to integrate consideration of climate impacts into operations, infrastructure planning, and standard business practices.
