Climate Change Vulnerability and Risk Assessment of New Jersey's Transportation Infrastructure


    This study identified the vulnerability and risk of transportation infrastructure to the impacts of climate change for two regions of New Jersey – the coastal region and the northeast corridor. The study built an inventory of relevant assets and determined which are critical, gathered information about potential climate scenarios, and assessed critical assets' potential vulnerability and resilience. This study involved a partnership of the New Jersey Department of Transportation, the three New Jersey MPOs, NJ TRANSIT, and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.
