| Program Overview: |
As research on climate change progresses, there is growing realization that the transportation sector, a major contributor to climate change processes, must begin to respond to the anticipated impacts. Transportation agencies will play a major role in addressing climate change factors. At the same time, agencies face an uncertain regulatory environment and challenges to initiating technological or behavioral changes. This CTE teleconference will provide an overview of current practice and emerging issues for integrating climate change considerations into transportation planning at the state and regional levels. The panel will provide examples and insights into how agencies can approach mitigation of impacts, adaptation strategies, and policies and projects to address climate change through technological advances (e.g. alternative fuels) and changes to travel behavior. Issues related to the upcoming federal reauthorization of transportation funding and potential regulatory changes also will be discussed.
