TCRP A-41: Improving the Resilience of Transit Systems Threatened by Natural Disasters
This paper provides a summary of a guide developed by the Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) to help transit agencies working to improve resilience and get better outcomes in emergency planning, response, and recovery. The research included a comprehensive literature review: 17 case studies of U.S. and international transit agencies and two case studies on regional resilience efforts. Based on the research, the guide encourages incremental adoption of resiliency practices. Resilience is seen as most effective as an overarching practice or “lens” that touches all domains, comparable and complementary to asset management, safety, and sustainability in the way it can overcome silos between capital planning, operations, and maintenance; and systems planning and other domains. The emphasis is on measures needed to embed a resiliency culture into and across the major domains, consistent with lessons learned in implementing safety, sustainability, and asset management in transit industry culture.
