Sound Transit Climate Risk Reduction Project

Abstract

The Climate Risk Reduction Project assessed how climate change may affect Sound Transit commuter rail, light rail, and express bus services. The project identified potential climate change impacts on agency operations, assets, and long-term planning; options for strengthening the agency's resilience to these impacts; and opportunities for integrating climate change considerations into agency decision making processes. The project concluded that many climate change impacts will likely be minor to moderate, although potentially significant impacts are possible with higher rates of sea-level rise and mudslide activity.
