These Summary Reports and associated Technical Reports describe climate change effects in each of Caltrans’ 12 districts. The Summary Reports provided a high-level review of potential climate impacts to each district’s portion of the State Highway System, while the Technical Reports present detail on the technical processes used to identify these impacts.
Detailed information by district is found here: https://dot.ca.gov/programs/transportation-planning/division-of-transportation-planning/air-quality-and-climate-change/2019-climate-change-vulnerability-assessments |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><P><SPAN>A database containing climate stressor geospatial data indicating changes in climate over time (e.g. temperature rise and increased likelihood of wildfires) was developed as part of this study. These GIS layers for this report is expected to be a valuable resource for ongoing Caltrans resiliency planning efforts and coordination with stakeholders. Caltrans will use this data to evaluate the vulnerability of the SHS and other Caltrans assets, and inform future decision-making. It also provides resilience: The ability to prepare and plan for, absorb, recover from, or more successfully adapt to adverse events. Sea level rise (SLR) is a long-term threat to coastal areas. The effects of thermal expansion of ocean water combined with contributions from glacial and ice sheet melting result in higher sea levels around the world. Higher sea levels could damage coastal infrastructure, potentially inundating low-lying sections of roadway, damaging asset substructure, or contributing to increased erosion effects at the shoreline (and thereby threatening coastal roads).
