Sea Level Rise Resilient Transportation Systems in Coastal Communities

The research team proposes to work with coastal agencies and local governments in California to investigate the potential impact of loss of shoreline infrastructure on local multi-modal traffic circulation. The team has contacted 2 jurisdictions that have demonstrated an interest in understanding these types of impacts. The team will suggest how the combination of flood-risk and traffic circulation modeling can improve resilience decision-making by local, regional and state governments.
