Please join us for the first of a four-part webinar series, Transportation Resiliency Planning: Capacity Building. The purpose of this series is to help National Capital Region Transportation Planning Board (TPB) member agencies build capacity in resiliency, both by understanding pressing climate challenges in the region and understanding their role in advancing resilience efforts both at their agency and at the regional scale.

The four webinars will build on one another to help participants understand how the climate is changing in the region, how climate change impacts the transportation system, how to conduct a climate vulnerability assessment, funding opportunities for considering resilience, and how to integrate resilience considerations into planning and programming, and project development and design. This integration is critical to ensure a robust and resilient transportation system for decades to come.

This webinar will provide participants with an overview of transportation resilience to set the stage for the rest of the series. Participants can expect to learn some key terms in resilience, learn about types of resiliency and equity work in the National Capital region, understand how climate impacts the region, and better understand federal requirements and funding opportunities.
