• Abstract:
  Mainstreaming Climate Change Adaptation Strategies into New York State Department of Transportation’s Operations was developed to help the agency identify vulnerabilities of the state’s transportation system to climate change and to identify opportunities to adapt the system and mainstream adaptation into the transportation decision making process. The report is divided into five chapters: an introduction, a discussion of climate change and its intersection with transportation in New York State, a vulnerability and impact assessment, a discussion of adaptation strategies and best practices, recommendation for mainstreaming those strategies into the operations of the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT), and a communications and technology transfer plan.
