| 摘要： | Climate change-related issues place substantial operating and financial burdens on public transit agencies, particularly in coastal settings. Gulf of Mexico coastal transit agencies and their constituents are especially vulnerable to natural hazards resulting from extreme heat, flooding, and high winds. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has billions of dollars in assets across the U.S., many of which are threatened by the adverse impacts of climate change. Reducing the impacts of weather events and long-term climate change is a key goal for Gulf Coast transit agencies as well as FTA. The study was one of seven climate change adaptation pilot studies. The purpose of the Gulf Coast study was two-fold: to provide benefit to three specific project member transit agencies and to compile practical information for all Gulf Coast transit agencies. |
