Abstract:During recent extreme weather events, the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) experienced impacts to infrastructure and service. The CTA pilot sought to quantify the consequences to capital, operations, and maintenance costs that have been observed in the past and assess the costs and benefits of proposed adaptation options. The City of Chicago had previously commissioned climate modeling research and climate impact and costs assessment efforts, which laid a foundation for this study. The CTA pilot developed quantitative and qualitative tools to integrate consideration of climate impacts into operations, infrastructure planning, and standard business practices that can be used as a template for further development by CTA and other transit agencies.
