Author Description

Transportation agencies, including state departments of transportation (DOTs), are increasing their focus on resilience as they continue to manage the impacts of extreme weather and natural hazard variability on transportation infrastructure and communities that rely on them to sustain and improve their quality of life. To enable evaluation and an eventual transition to a performance-based planning and implementation approach for investing in resilience, agencies need approaches and tools to track the efficacy of resilience initiatives, projects, and investments. NCHRP Web-Only Document 432: Impacts and Performance of State DOT Resilience Efforts, from TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program, is supplemental to NCHRP Research Report 1159: Measuring Impacts and Performance of State DOT Resilience Efforts: A Guide.
