Abstract:The contents of this report contribute to the foundational research for megaregional transportation resilience planning. Megaregions contain the majority of America’s population and economic centers, and experience various levels of devastating impacts as a result of gradual climate change impacts and natural disaster threats. This work defines transportation resilience and outlines existing funding sources available for resilience planning and projects. It also includes a spatial resilience case study that evaluates three megaregions bordering the Gulf of Mexico, a series of three-pager resilience profiles that outline major disaster threats to each U.S. megaregion, and examples of transportation resilience planning efforts to date. With federal financial assistance, state and regional transportation agencies have spearheaded the effort to collaborate on formal and informal forms of resilience planning at the regional and megaregional scale.
