About Us

COG is the one place in metropolitan Washington that regularly brings leaders together to develop solutions to the region's major challenges. COG prepares plans enabling the region to receive federal funding, provides members with research and data to inform decision-making, and offers a wide range of programs, including commuter services, cooperative purchasing, technical assistance and grants, and public outreach campaigns.

Transportation

Through the National Capital Region Transportation Planning Board (TPB), area officials, planners, and engineers ensure a well-managed and maintained transportation system. The TPB, which is staffed by COG, conducts the federally mandated transportation planning process for the region and ensures the uninterrupted flow of federal transportation funds that area jurisdictions receive.

Environment

COG's work engages leaders in various environmental fields from water quality experts to climate scientists. Together, they are advancing regional efforts to restore local waterways, improve air quality, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and address climate change, promote recycling, and enhance and preserve green space and agriculture.

Community

Area officials and experts, including planning and housing directors and child welfare and health officials, work together with their counterparts at COG to help shape stronger communities throughout the region.

Homeland Security & Public Safety

COG brings police chiefs, fire chiefs, emergency managers, and other leaders together as part of its work to strengthen regional public safety coordination, homeland security planning, and emergency communication.

National Capital Region Transportation System Climate Vulnerability Assessment

Apr 10, 2024

Summary

The key objective of this vulnerability assessment is to build on the strong foundation of resilience work undertaken by TPB to assess the vulnerabilities of the region’s transportation system and identify priority areas for resilience investments. The assessment will also inform a Transportation Resilience Improvement Plan (TRIP) that will contribute to member organizations’ understanding of climate risk to improve resilience planning; identify priorities for investments in resilience; and better position TPB and its members for federal funding and match reduction under the Promoting Resilient Operations for the Transformative, Efficient, and Cost-Saving Transportation (PROTECT) Program.
