| 摘要： | This study, as part of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Climate Change Resilience Pilot program, assessed the vulnerability of ADOT-managed transportation infrastructure to Arizona-specific extreme weather. ADOT elected to focus on the Interstate corridor connecting Nogales, Tucson, Phoenix, and Flagstaff (I-19, I-10, and I-17). This corridor includes a variety of urban areas, landscapes, biotic communities and climate zones, which present a range of weather conditions applicable to much of Arizona. The project team examined climate-related stressors including Extreme Heat, Freeze-Thaw, Extreme Precipitation, and Wildfire, considering the potential change in these risk factors as the century progresses. This assessment qualitatively addresses the complex, often uncertain interactions between climate and extreme weather, land cover types, and transportation facilities—with an ultimate focus on potential risks to infrastructure by District. |
