Author Description

The U.S. Dept. of Transportation's (DOT's) work on climate adaptation began with the understanding that climate impacts will affect DOT's strategic goals of safety, state of good repair, and environmental sustainability. This plan, an update from the 2012 DOT Climate Adaptation Plan, is organized into sections based on the guidance from the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) and describes steps DOT will take to move towards fully integrating considerations of climate change adaptation and resiliency into DOT policies, programs, and operations. DOT agencies include the Fed. Aviation Admin. (FAA), Fed. Highway Admin. (FHWA), Fed. Transit Admin. (FTA), St. Lawrence Seaway Devt. Coop. (SLSDC), Fed. Railroad Admin. (FRA), Fed. Motor Carrier Safety Admin. (FMCSA), Maritime Admin. (MARAD), and Pipelines and Hazardous Materials Safety Admin. (PHMSA). This is a print on demand report.
