Adaptation and Resilience

SacAdapt - Transportation Adaptation Plan

Summer heat and winter storms are nothing new for Sacramento. However, these events are becoming more frequent and intense as a result of climate change.

The City of Sacramento is taking action to prepare for these changes through SacAdapt, a Transportation Infrastructure Adaptation Plan. This effort is funded by a Caltrans Adaptation Planning Grant and is being implemented in partnership with the Sacramento Regional Transit District (SacRT).

SacAdapt will guide the City in preparing for climate impacts—like extreme heat, flooding, and high winds—to our transportation system. This includes efforts to maintain the comfort of active transportation and transit during extreme weather, so that we can achieve our walking, biking, and transit ridership goals. It also means prioritizing infrastructure improvements that benefit the communities that are most vulnerable to climate impacts.

SacAdapt will outline an actionable roadmap to guide transportation adaptation efforts and enable the City and SacRT to pursue grant funding for resilient infrastructure upgrades.

Read the full project scope in this 2-page Project Summary. This page will be updated with project materials as they are developed.
