| Abstract | The threat of global climate change and its impact on our world's infrastructure is a rapidly growing reality. Particularly, as seen in recent storm events such as Hurricane Katrina and Sandy in the United States, transportation infrastructure is on the front lines of seeing damaging impacts that are costly to repair. Although the world is becoming increasingly aware that climate change is quickly changing the physical landscape, little has been done in preparation for the coming changes. Cities, states, and in some instances countries have put together in depth climate resiliency plans outlining steps that would help in preparation for the coming changes; these plans are not common enough, and are divided and unfunded. There needs to be more action towards the protection of our transportation infrastructure, an entity that impacts the lives of people on a daily basis. |
