28. 2012 Statement of AMS (1/3)
• American Meteorological Society
• Based on the peer-reviewed scientific literature
• Warming of the climate system now is
unequivocal, according to many different kinds of
evidence
• The effects of this warming are especially evident in the
planet’s polar regions
• Most of the world’s glaciers are in retreat
• Globally averaged sea level has risen by about 17 cm (7
inches) in the 20th century, with the rise accelerating
since the early 1990s
30. 2012 Statement of AMS (2/3)
• Very heavy precipitation events have increased over the last 50
years throughout the U.S.
• Freezing levels are rising in elevation, with rain occurring more
frequently instead of snow at mid-elevations of western
mountains
• Spring maximum snowpack is decreasing, snowmelt occurs
earlier, and the spring runoff that supplies over two-thirds of
western U.S. streamflow is reduced.
• Earlier springs, longer frost-free periods, longer growing
seasons, and shifts in natural habitats and in migratory patterns
of birds and insects
31. 2012 Statement of AMS (3/3)
• Climate is always changing
• Many of the observed changes are beyond what can
be explained by the natural variability of the climate
• Dominant cause of the rapid change in climate of the
past half century is human-induced increases in the
amount of atmospheric greenhouse gases, including
carbon dioxide (CO2), chlorofluorocarbons, methane,
and nitrous oxide
34. General Circulation Models (GCMs)
•GCMs represent
physical processes in the
atmosphere, ocean, cryo
sphere and land surface
•3-D grids over the
globe, 250-600km, 10-20
vertical layers, up to 30
ocean layers
•May be statistically
downscaled to consider
regional scale impacts

54. Exercise: Climate Impacts
• What impacts from extreme weather and potential
future climate do you face?
– A heavy rainfall event can result in flooding (sometimes from culverts
and bridges being blocked with debris), erosion, rock falls, and scour
around bridgeheads and footings. If you were experiencing severe
flood conditions, what would your biggest concerns be?
– During heat waves, deterioration could impact certain infrastructure
components (asphalt on highways, concrete bridge joints). If you were
experiencing an excessive number of high heat days, what would your
biggest concerns be?
55. Impacts from Temperature (1/2)
Climate Effect Impacts on Infrastructure and Operations
Increases in very hot days •Asphalt degradation and pavement rutting, resulting in possible
and heat waves (higher short-term loss of public access or increased congestion of
high temperatures, sections of road and highway during repair and replacement
increased duration of heat •Increased thermal expansion of bridge joints and paved
waves) surfaces, causing possible degradation
•Concerns regarding pavement integrity, traffic-related rutting and
migration of liquid asphalt, blow outs from concrete paving
•Maintenance and construction costs for roads and bridges; stress
on bridge integrity due to temperature expansion of concrete
joints, steel, asphalt, protective cladding, coats, and sealants
•Limits on periods of construction activity, and more nighttime
work
•Vehicle failures from overheating and tire degradation

56. Impacts from Temperature (2/2)
Climate Effect Impacts on Infrastructure and Operations
Decreases in very cold •Regional changes in snow and ice removal
days costs, environmental impacts from salt and chemical use
•Fewer cold-related restrictions for maintenance workers
Later onset of seasonal •Heaving/potholes (due to freeze-thaw)
freeze and earlier onset •Fatigue cracking (cold temperature)

57. Impacts from Precipitation (1/2)
Climate Impacts on Infrastructure and Operations
Effect
Increases in •Areas in which flooding is already common will face more frequent and severe
intense problems
precipitation •Increases in weather-related delays and traffic disruptions
events •Increased flooding of evacuation routes
•Increases in flooding of roadways and tunnels, culvert failures
•Increases in road washout, landslides, and mudslides that damage roadways
•Drainage systems likely to be overloaded more frequently and severely, causing
backups and street flooding
•If soil moisture levels become too high, structural integrity of
roads, bridges, and tunnels (especially where they are already under stress)
could be compromised
•Standing water may have adverse effects on road base
•Increased peak streamflow could affect scour rates and influence the size
requirement for bridges and culverts
•Driver accidents increased/driver safety compromised

Council (2008).
58. Impacts from Precipitation (2/2)
Climate Impacts on Infrastructure and Operations
Effect
Changes in •Benefits for safety and reduced interruptions if frozen precipitation shifts to
seasonal rainfall
precipitation •Corrosion (from increased surface salts due to less precipitation)
and stream •Increased risk of floods, landslides, gradual failures and damage to roads if
precipitation changes from snow to rain in winter and spring thaws; more
flow erosion
patterns •Vegetation failure (due to drought)
•Increased maintenance and replacement costs of road infrastructure
•Short-term loss of public access or increased congestion to sections of road
and highway from road closures and disruptions
•Changes in access to floodplains during construction season and mobilization
periods
•Changes in wetland location and the associated natural protective services
that wetlands offer to infrastructure

59. Why Consider Adaptation?
• Planning for the future can benefit the present
• Proactive planning is more effective and less costly
than responding reactively to climate change impacts
as they happen
• Thinking strategically can reduce future risks

– Extreme temperatures
– Hurricanes/tropical storms, tornadoes, other high
winds, blizzards, wildfires, etc.
83. What makes an asset vulnerable?
• Impacts
– Is the asset exposed to the stressor, will it be in the future?
• Some stressors are map-able (e.g. flooding)
• Others are less spatially explicit (e.g. temperature)
– What impacts could occur, what are the likely consequences?
• Damage?
• Disruption?
• Deterioration?
• No Impact?
– How frequently could impacts occur, with what probability?

94. How to put into RTP? (1/3)
• Flag projects in 2040 RTP that are identified as being
potentially vulnerable
– Work with project sponsors to incorporate adaptation
strategies into project design, if necessary
– Define new transportation projects that enhance
transportation resiliency
95. How to put into RTP? (2/3)
• Incorporate into performance measures
– New measure: Does project provide network
redundancy for a critical/vulnerable transportation
asset?
– Adjustment factor for scoring of other measures
• Example: Project addresses existing bridge deficiency (extra
points if asset is critical/vulnerable)
96. How to put into RTP? (3/3)
• Related planning processes that address more
detailed adaptation strategies
– Design for resiliency as part of TIP project selection
procedures?
97. How to continue with next RTP?
• Update criticality/vulnerability assessment as new
data/better models become available
– US Army Corps hydrological model (HEC-RTS) with slider
bar to see how floodplains change for potential rainfall
events
– Travel demand model updated each cycle
• Incorporate new projects/adaptation strategies as
they are developed
• Refine integration into RTP performance
measures/TIP selection criteria
