Description
FHWA awarded five grants nationwide, including the OahuMPO, to validate a conceptual model for determining the affects of climate change on transportation infrastructure. The model consists of three parts: Determining what are the likely climate stressors that will be faced by the local region and the probability of their occurrence in the future; Determining what the critical transportation infrastructure assets are for the local region and their relative priority; and Assessing the vulnerability of those priority assets to impacts from the climate stressors. Oahu is uniquely vulnerable given its location mid-Pacific and, based on the more current climate science, needs to begin planning for these weather-related events now. The report was delivered to Federal Highway Administration on December 2, 2011.
