Department of Transportation's 2021 Federal Climate Adaptation Plan

The Department of Transportation's 2021 Federal Climate Adaptation Plan is a national cross-sectoral action plan of the United States. Its main objectives are to Ensure that projects supported by DOT discretionary grant and loan programs incorporate effective climate change resiliency protective features, where possible; ensure Federally-funded transportation projects are planned, designed, and constructed to be resilient to climate change impacts; ensure that DOT facilities and operational assets are resilient to the effects of climate change; DOT will provide education and facilitation to support and encourage program management acquisition of innovative, novel services and supplies to advance the Department’s ability to adapt to climate change; and increase climate change education among internal DOT employees and ensure continued research in development to help fill gaps in climate change knowledge and use of new technologies.
