Abstract:Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) was awarded a grant from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to perform an extreme weather vulnerability assessment of transportation infrastructure in the state. The geographical scope of this vulnerability assessment includes all major transportation infrastructure located within Tennessee. The temporal scope extends through calendar year 2040, a time frame that aligns with capital and rehabilitation cycles, and the horizon year of current Long Range Transportation Plans. During the course of this project, the study team endeavored to incorporate the information and opinions provided by stakeholders, including those representing government functions, economic sectors, transportation modes, geographic regions and political jurisdictions. The mechanism for enabling stakeholder involvement was a working group, the Tennessee Extreme Weather and Transportation Adaptation Partnership (TEWTAP), whose role was to guide and advise the project and review project results. In addition, other stakeholders were invited to offer input and provide data through focus group meetings that were held in each of TDOT’s four regions. Collectively, participants represented multiple transportation and non-transportation related entities, including federal, state and local government officials; freight shippers and carriers; transit operators; metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs); regional planning organizations (RPOs); and DOT representatives from states that border Tennessee.
