  • Abstract:
    On April 28 and 29, 2011, FHWA hosted two related peer exchanges in Indianapolis, Indiana. These peer exchanges consisted of two separate sessions with different audiences and adaptation planning themes. Both were titled “Minimizing the Impacts of Climate Change on Transportation Systems in the Midwest.” The peer exchanges provided an opportunity for Indiana metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) and Midwestern state Departments of Transportation (DOTs), respectively, to collaborate and discuss opportunities for managing climate variability and change impacts on transportation systems. During the exchange focused on MPOs, Executive Directors of MPOs in Indiana (or their delegates) gathered to discuss emergency planning and integration of climate change adaptation into Hazard Mitigation Plans. During the second day, Midwestern state DOTs discussed criticality and vulnerability of assets, state hazard mitigation planning efforts, addressing adaptation in asset management and operations decisions, and information resources that could be helpful to the group. The structure of the peer exchanges was similar, but the state DOT agenda provided more time for facilitated discussion between presentations. This document summarizes the presentations, participant discussions, and main findings and conclusions from both peer exchanges. This document also notes opportunities for future collaboration among agencies and additional resources available to state DOTs and MPOs. Workshop materials are included in the appendices and accompanying files.
