Surface Transportation Resilience to Climate Change and Extreme Weather – Sept. 16-18 Conference

 

The Academies’ Transportation Research Board is hosting the first International Conference on Surface Transportation System Resilience to Climate Change and Extreme Weather Events, which will provide information on emerging best practices and research on how to adapt surface transportation networks to the potential impacts of climate change and extreme weather events. Through 27 breakout sessions, several keynote and panel discussions, and a poster session, the conference will examine cost-effective resilience decision making by state departments of transportation, metropolitan planning organizations, and transit and other transportation agencies in planning and programming, capital improvements, and maintenance and operations.
