Abstract In Florida, low elevations can make transportation infrastructure in coastal and low-lying areas potentially vulnerable to sea level rise (SLR). Becuase global SLR forecasts lack precision at local or regional scales, SLR forecasts or scenarios for parts of the state have been prepared using varying tools and approaches. However, Florida still lacks a consensus on the appropriate methodology to forecast potential, adverse impacts. Also, a comprehensive analysis of transportation infrastructure potentially at risk in Florida from SLR has not been conducted.
