Addressing Climate Resilience and Greenhouse Gases in the Transportation Planning Process
Many state departments of transportation (DOTs) are undergoing organizational changes to address climate
change. Changes range from hiring additional staff to creating new offices within
the organizational structure of the agency. State requirements in the form of legislation,
executive orders, and climate action
plans are primary drivers for state DOT involvement with climate change.
NCHRP Synthesis 624: Addressing Climate Resilience and Greenhouse Gases in the Transportation Planning Process,
from TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program,
documents practices and procedures at state DOTs regarding climate change.
Supplemental to the report is
Appendix C, a compilation of weblinks to state climate change documents.
