Description
Amy Macdonald and eight co-authors assess what climate change will do to transportation in New York State. This 2024 chapter of the state's climate impacts assessment covers every mode residents and businesses depend on. Its starting point is simple: the transport system runs on weather, and the weather is shifting. Many communities have already felt climate-driven disruption, and more exposure is certain.
The chapter surveys impacts mode by mode, then turns to who bears them. Vulnerability, the authors stress, is unevenly spread among communities, workers, regions, and businesses. Equity and environmental justice get particular attention, since the burdens of flooded roads, heat-stressed transit, and storm damage land hardest where resources are thinnest. The chapter is written as a planning document: a shared factual base for state decisions about hardening the network and protecting the people who rely on it.
