From the preface: This report was initiated to explore how to incorporate resilience into long-term transportation planning for state departments of transportation and metropolitan planning organizations and to inform the Transportation Research Board (TRB)--a division of the National Research Council of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine--about our findings. In this report, we consider not only the specific hazards associated with climate change but also all hazards, focusing on stresses to transportation systems that arise naturally but might be exacerbated by disturbances to the system, such as congestion. This work was sponsored by TRB under the National Cooperative Highway Research Program project 08-36, Task 146.
