Abstract:

The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) transit system, which serves the Philadelphia area, has experienced an increasing number of service disruptions related to extreme weather in recent years. The FTA pilot effort provided an opportunity to formalize the process of considering these disruptions in decision making; inform existing adaptation efforts with climate science and risk analysis; better understand costs and impacts; and develop a comprehensive strategy that could be applied across the entire system. The pilot effort involved an analysis of SEPTA’s current and future risk related to four types of extreme weather events (extreme heat, heavy precipitation, snow, and tropical storms) and translation of the data into terms used regularly by SEPTA decision-makers (service delays, train cancellations, and costs) to facilitate adaptation planning. ICF International, SEPTA, and the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission collaborated to carry out this work.
