2 Global Surface Temperature Change ( C ) 2 0 Historical records of climate: global surface temperature change Year Stocker, T. F., Qin, D., Plattner, G. K., Tignor, M., Allen, S. K., Boschung, J.,... & Midgley, B. M. (2013). IPCC, 2013: climate change 2013: the physical science basis. Contribution of working group I to the fifth assessment report of the intergovernmental panel on climate change. 2

5 The climate risk assessment methodology for DFW transportation infrastructure 2. Asset Inventory & Criticality 1. Climate Projection Climate projection 3. Transportation networks 5
6 1. Climate Projection 2. Asset Inventory & Criticality 1. Climate Projection
7 Future climate projection Extreme temperatures of up to 125 F by the end of 21st century, exceeding historic heat waves by 12 F. By 2050, lower precipitation in particular during the summer season with a reduction in soil moisture by 10 15% compared to historical values. Higher likelihood of drought and amplified urban heat island, in particular during summer months Extreme flooding events, more tropical storms occurring in the fall season. Increase in severe thunderstorms and rainfall by up to 10% in the spring season 7

13 Risk assessment matrix for roadways to heat stress Risk = f (magnitude of consequences, likelihood of failure ) Low Risk Medium Risk High Risk 13
14 Critical roadways vulnerable to heat risks in Tarrant &Dallas Counties for the period
15 Potential impacts to roadways due to higher temp. & extreme heat waves: Pavement rutting and migration of liquid asphalt Greater needs for road maintenance and pavement; more frequent lane closures for highway repairs Vehicle engine overheating and tire deterioration Higher crash rates linked to mechanical failures and heat strokes 15
16 Vulnerable roadways in Tarrant &Dallas Counties to severe precipitation (e.g. a 100 year flood) 16
17 Potential consequences of inland flooding on roadways : Affecting structural integrity of roads Erosions of road and bridge supports Disruption of traffic flows Higher crash rates Increased congestion Delays in evacuation and emergency response 17
18 Conclusion: Takeaways Risk & vulnerability assessment for prioritizing adaptation strategies Addressing costs of dealing with climate change/extreme weather events in the MPO s long range regional transportation planning Integrating regional green infrastructure / low impact development (LID) with transportation planning More aggressive actions for mitigating GHG emission at all levels 18
