The UDOT Resilience Improvement Plan (RIP) strategically addresses vulnerabilities in Utah’s transportation systems due to current and future weather events and natural disasters. This plan enhances our understanding of these vulnerabilities, informing decision-making and strategic planning to strengthen infrastructure resilience. It provides a comprehensive framework to assess risks, prioritize resources, and implement both immediate and long-range resilience measures. Integrated with Utah's long-range transportation plan, the UDOT RIP ensures robust, effective, and compliant resilience efforts, reinforcing our commitment to safeguarding Utah's transportation infrastructure.

NMDOT's Resilience Improvement Plan (RIP) evaluates the risks that current and future weather events and natural disasters pose to New Mexico's surface transportation system. Based on this analysis, the document outlines a prioritized investment plan for projects across NMDOT districts to enhance the resilience of the surface transportation system. It also presents suggestions for ongoing interagency collaboration and provides recommendations for future updates to the RIP, as well as policies, practices, and actions to embed resilience within NMDOT. The NMDOT RIP is methodologically aligned with the New Mexico Hazard Mitigation Plan and takes into account the well-being of all New Mexicans. This includes assessing evacuation routes, critical destinations, and the increased vulnerability of socially disadvantaged populations. The plan is also informed by related resilience and climate planning efforts undertaken by other state agencies in New Mexico, tribal partners, neighboring states, and local jurisdictions.

The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) has developed this Delaware Resilience Improvement Plan (DRIP) as a strategic blueprint for thoughtful investment in critical infrastructure. It aims to proactively identify and address action items, and to customize both adaptation and mitigation measures to meet the agency's resilience objectives. The DRIP was crafted in compliance with federal standards and directives as outlined in the PROTECT Formula Program Implementation Guidance issued by the FHWA in 2022 (INFORMATION: Promoting Resilient Operations for Transformative, Efficient, and Cost-Saving Transportation (PROTECT) Formula Program Implementation Guidance (dot.gov)). It was specifically shaped under Section G (3), which pertains to the formulation of Resilience Improvement Plans.

This Resilience Improvement Plan is designed to enhance Kentucky's readiness to prepare for, respond to, and withstand future extreme weather and natural hazard events that impact the transportation system. The Plan employs a risk-based assessment, considering the probability of occurrences, the extent of potential damages, and the importance of the transportation assets involved. The strategies outlined in this Plan aim to bolster transportation resilience, further supporting the overarching mission of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC).

The report, created by the Transportation Asset Management Expert Task Group (TAM ETG), addresses the concerns of agencies facing a rise in the proportion of their pavement and bridge networks deteriorating to Fair condition. The TAM ETG members identified the factors contributing to this situation and initiated discussions emphasizing the importance of managing this increasing percentage of their networks based on TAM principles. The findings from these discussions form the basis of this document, which aims to: provide State and local transportation agencies with an understanding of why prioritizing investments in assets in Fair condition is more effective than heavily investing in those in Poor condition, and encourage the adoption of more proactive lifecycle planning in investment decisions.

Iowa’s TAMP now includes the entire Primary Highway System, the complete highway network owned/maintained by Iowa DOT. The 2023 TAMP has a section for performance gap identification. Iowa's 2023 TAMP has sections for Asset Inventory and Condition, Life Cycle Planning, Performance Assessment, Risk Management, Financial Plan and Investment Strategies, and Process Improvements.

NMDOT seeks to develop a Resilience Improvement Plan to meet the requirements and cost share incentive of the PROTECT Formula Program. In alignment with the PROTECT program guidance and in support of the New Mexico Governor’s climate action initiative, NMDOT will build on the Resiliency 1.0 Study to integrate new data sources into the GIS-based analysis framework, apply likelihood and probability analysis, integrate guidance from FHWA Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Framework, and identify key priorities for each NMDOT district.

This PowerPoint summarizes the approach and methodology being used to develop the NM RIP.
