#TRB AMR10 Quarterly Meeting (Monday, 11/4 at 2 PM easter): #USDOT #Resilience Coalition – Implementation Needs of the Transportation Practitioner Abstract: In an effort to gain an understanding of the current state of capabilities and capacities of surface transportation agencies in resilience planning and implementation, the United States Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) partnered with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (#AASHTO) to assemble a coalition of surface transportation professionals focused on the growing issue of climate resilience in transportation. The Coalition effort focused on a bottom-up approach to identify challenges with the implementation of resilience at a range of agency types. The purpose of the Resilience Coalition was to gather implementation-level input from stakeholders across the surface transportation industry, including highways, transit, rail, and ports to: • Document gaps in knowledge, data, capacity, and tools. • Identify barriers to implementing climate resilience. • Develop recommendations for next steps. The opportunities to improve resilience implementation were grouped into five categories: Capacity and Understanding, Policies and Funding, Data and Information, Metrics and Methods, and Tools and Approaches. This presentation will highlight the findings of the Resilience Coalition and will include four panelists. #Connection details: you must be a friend of the AMR10 committee of the Transportation Research Board (#TRB).
