Resilience Planning and Programs for Transit Agencies Big and Small

This webinar will explore how transit agencies of all sizes are developing and implementing resilience plans to address risks from extreme weather events and other natural hazards, while protecting critical infrastructure. Through real-world examples, speakers will share strategies for risk assessment and management, translating vulnerability analyses into actionable plans, integrating emergency management practices, engaging stakeholders, and securing funding for adaptation projects. Attendees will gain insights into scalable approaches—from targeted asset-level studies to system-wide planning—that strengthen risk mitigation, guide investment decisions, and support long-term operational sustainability.
