摘要: In 2013, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) sponsored climate resilience pilot studies in selected states and metropolitan areas in the U.S. The intent of these pilot studies was to examine approaches to “conduct climate change and extreme weather vulnerability assessments of transportation infrastructure and to analyze options for adapting and improving resiliency.” The Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), as lead agency on behalf of the region’s three MPOs, and in partnership with other agencies, received one of the pilot projects. The project studied the southeast Florida four-county region. This report presents the results of this study. Five study objectives were adopted to guide the analysis: 1) provide adaptation analysis capability, 2) identify adaptation projects and strategies, 3) apply a vulnerability framework and provide feedback to the planning process, 4) enhance decision support and 5) strengthen institutional capacity. The study examined three climate change-related stresses: sea level rise inundation, storm surge flooding, and heavy precipitation induced flooding. Only roadway and passenger rail facilities on the designated regional transportation network were considered as part of this analysis.
