Mainstreaming System Resilience Concepts into Transportation Agencies: A Guide
Transportation officials recognize
that a reliable and sustainable transportation system is needed to fulfill
their agency’s mission and goals.
The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's
NCHRP Research Report 970:
Mainstreaming System Resilience Concepts into Transportation Agencies: A Guide
provides transportation officials with a self-assessment tool to assess the
current status of an agency’s efforts to improve the resilience of the transportation system through
the mainstreaming of resilience concepts into agency decision-making and procedures. The tool can be
applied to a broad array of natural and human-caused threats to transportation systems and services. The report is related to
NCHRP Web-Only Document 293: Deploying Transportation Resilience Practices in State DOTS.
Supplemental materials to the report include a
Posters Compilation and the
Program Agenda from the 2018 Transportation
Resilience Innovations Summit and Exchange, and a
PowerPoint Presentation on resilience.
