Abstract:The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT or Department) has prepared this Climate Adaptation Plan (CAP or Plan) in accordance with: Section 211 of Executive Order (E.O.) 14008, Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad; section 5(d) of E.O. 14030, Climate-Related Financial Risk; section 503 of E.O.14057, Catalyzing Clean Energy Industries And Jobs Through Federal Sustainability; and with the Council on Environmental Quality’s (CEQ) Implementing Instructions. The 2024-2027 CAP builds on the previous DOT Climate Adaptation Plans prepared in 2012, 2014, and the Climate Action Plan: Revitalizing Efforts to Bolster Adaptation and Increase Resilience published in 2021. The 2012 Action Plan focused on climate change impacts to DOT’s critical mission activities—safety, state of good repair and sustainability of federally owned buildings. The 2014 CAP provided updates on DOT’s recent accomplishments and new priorities. The 2021 plan and 2022 progress update highlighted the commitment of the Department to ensure that DOT funding programs, policies, guidance, and operations consider climate impacts and incorporate resilience solutions. Looking forward, the Department will support continued investments in climate-smart transportation infrastructure and incorporate natural hazard and climate risk information into federal property management decisions, funding programs, policies, guidance, and operations, prioritizing investments that achieve the quadruple benefit of advancing resilience, supporting adaptation, addressing environmental justice, and strengthening climate mitigation.
