Caltrans Assesses Climate Change Vulnerability and Sea Level Risks
Original: Caltrans Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment & Sea Level Rules
Caltrans is carrying out a climate change vulnerability assessment alongside new sea level rules, examining how rising seas and changing climate conditions could affect California's state highway system. The work is intended to identify at-risk transportation infrastructure and inform future planning and design standards. Discussion centers on how the state's roads and bridges should be adapted to cope with sea level rise and other climate impacts.
Why now: Sea level rise and climate resilience for California transportation infrastructure are current public concerns.
