... 41 This chapter documents five case examples related to the incorporation of resilience practices by state agencies. Survey respondents were asked if they would like to showcase their agency's resilience practices through the development of case examples.

... Case Examples 43 the investment was estimated to increase the project budget by $300,000 in order to meet the objectives set out by the RP staff. In 2016, ADOT initiated another project referred to as the Laguna Creek project in which data from the USGS Arizona Water Science group provided ADOT with real-time storm monitoring and data collection; post-storm event monitoring and data collection; and next generation hardware/software and surface water flow data, including LiDAR, drone data, rapid deployment streamgage, non-contact velocity sensors, video camera and particle tracking data collection, and 3D land surface models.

... 44 Resilience in Transportation Planning, Engineering, Management, Policy, and Administration Another important effort from the CRRO was the publication of the Colorado Resilience Framework in May 2015 as a long-term commitment to a more resilient state and statement of partnership among many sectors, including federal, state, and local agencies; non-profits; and business and community members (State of Colorado, Online, b)

... 46 Resilience in Transportation Planning, Engineering, Management, Policy, and Administration Building on its experience with the risk and resilience for highways approach, CDOT initiated a pilot program in August 2016 for asset management for the I-70 corridor across the entire state (approximately 470 miles in length)

From page 49...
... Case Examples 49 Some of the next steps for DelDOT's work on resilience include the creation of an asset inventory that any other state agency can use and update, utilization of new 3D models and simulation, development of a statewide transportation risk map, and exploration of different funding opportunities to support resilience initiatives. These efforts will help policy makers, designers, planners, emergency response managers, and others to make better decisions when incorporating adaptation and resilience practices at different levels.

... 50 Resilience in Transportation Planning, Engineering, Management, Policy, and Administration metropolitan region, which includes New York and New Jersey. PANYNJ is a multimodal agency that oversees 31 major facilities including two tunnels, four bridges, six airports, five marine terminals and ports, two major bus stations/terminals, two rail systems, and the World Trade Center (Adams, 2015)

... Case Examples 51 Followed by the updates of NCPP and PlaNYC, different commissions have been created to evaluate key vulnerabilities of the city's critical infrastructure, including energy, transportation, land use, insurance, and infrastructure finance. Recommendations made related to the transportation sector include the following (NYS 2100 Commission, 2012)

... 54 Resilience in Transportation Planning, Engineering, Management, Policy, and Administration would affect an asset with a storm surge that would damage, destroy, or not affect that asset. To identify critical infrastructure and dependencies, an asset and operation database was developed using ArcGIS and web maps and later was integrated with heights to develop customized damage curves.

... Case Examples 55 The Genesee Transportation Council (GTC) was chosen as an example of an MPO that has participated in a case example to incorporate resilience initiatives into their agency using FHWA's Vulnerability Assessment Framework.

From page 57...
... Case Examples 57 In order to mitigate these hazards, GTC developed a hazard mitigation strategy toolbox and placed their strategies into four key themes and five categories. These themes and categories are presented in Table 4.

... 58 Resilience in Transportation Planning, Engineering, Management, Policy, and Administration ADOT was involved in the FHWA climate change pilots and has focused efforts on establishing a unique relationship with USGS to improve understanding of the potential flow and path of extreme rain events and how those flows may affect ADOT assets. CDOT is building on lessons learned from the devastating 2013 flood event, which damaged over $750 million in highway assets alone.
