Integration of Climate Change Projections in Hydrologic and Hydraulic Design in Transportation Projects

This webinar will feature selected methods and tools used by transportation agencies in the United States and overseas to account for climate data in the hydrologic and hydraulic design of transportation facilities.

Building Organizational Resilience

How do you create a resilient organization in the face of recurring extreme events? This webinar from the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development addressed “hurricane fatigue” and how they continue to build organizational resilience.

Cyber Resilience

The transportation sector is the third most vulnerable sector to cyber-attacks. This webinar from Colorado DOT showed what DOTs should know and how they can be better prepared.

Resilience & Transportation

Resilience will directly impact our transportation system and already is impacting it in certain areas. We also need resilient systems to deal with upcoming impacts. We dive deep into Resilience issues, how problems can be mitigated in transportation planning, how the industry is impacted by issues, ways our systems can be upgraded in the near-term, and how we can plan for resilient systems in the future.
