• Abstract:
  This Caltrans guide is intended to be a resource to support metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) and regional transportation planning agencies (RTPAs) in incorporating climate change impacts into their decision-making and planning processes. The guide provides MPOs and RTPAs with: (1) background on climate adaptation, (2) recommended data and information to assist in incorporating climate considerations into regional planning, and (3) a step-by-step process for integrating climate risks into plans. The guide also accommodates MPOs with varying capacities, including “Basic User” MPOs that are conducting climate impact or vulnerability assessments for the first time and have limited resources, as well as “Advanced User” MPOs that have experience conducting climate impact assessments, greater resources, and strong interagency partnerships.
