“…Characterizing climate change with deep uncertainty complicates current approaches to strategic planning in the United States (and abroad). Risk management-based approaches to adaptation planning predominate in the global transportation sector (Wall and Meyer 2013); however, such approaches estimate impacts as a function of likelihood and magnitude of consequences. Reliance on probabilistic likelihood to identify, assess, and respond to uncertain climate change risks is problematic, since the emission scenarios upon which climate projections are based are assigned no measure of likelihood (Nakicenvoic et al 2000).…”

“…This section, which constitutes the core of the chapter, identifies and analyzes climate change adaptation actions in the transportation sector. The actions are drawn from national adaptation strategies and relevant publications such as U.S. Government reports, European Union directives and publiclyavailable adaptation action plans [2,5,9,15,20].…”

“…The national strategies and plans primarily focus on the transportation infrastructure and aspects of transportation services, such as the development of alternative routes and means of transportation, traffic management, reviews of technical conditions of vehicles and vehicular operations, and support to transportation infrastructure owners/operators in developing their adaptation assessments and actions. The literature (see, e.g., [20]) reveals that stakeholders such as railroad companies [15], airports and port authorities, and air traffic control operators [5] are well aware of the potential climate change impacts and the need to adapt, and have started taking action. The prospects of significant reconstruction costs, lengthy recovery processes and severe disruptions have influenced transportation infrastructure owners/operators to undertake comprehensive assessments of their assets.…”

“…A review of climate adaptation methodologies used worldwide concluded that "much of the transportation and infrastructure sector's approach to climate change impact analysis and adaptation planning is based on risk management practices" (13). Vulnerability assessments leading to a prioritized list of targeted assets include three major components of risk-likelihood of occurrence, vulnerability, and consequence.…”
