Climate Adaptation & Transportation: Identifying Information and Assistance Needs - Summary of an Expert Workshop held November 2011

This report summarizes the presentations, discussions and recommendations from a workshop, “Climate Adaptation & Transportation: Identifying Information and Assistance Needs,” held November 16-17, 2011. Funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Sector Applications and Research Program, the workshop was designed and facilitated by the Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) and the Center for Clean Air Policy (CCAP). The workshop brought together transportation and climate professionals to identify the critical support needs of surface transportation professionals as they adapt their practices to climate change and shifting trends in extreme weather. Previous workshops have examined and characterized the physical impacts of climate change and extreme weather on the transportation sector. This gathering focused on assessing the operational needs of transportation practitioners for evaluating and implementing adaptation measures and how the climate science community can help meet needs for: 1. Data and information, 2. Analytic and decision support tools, 3. Technical assistance, 4. New research, and 5. Communications and outreach support.
