The Colorado Department of Transportation’s Resilience Improvement Plan (RIP) outlines the agency’s efforts to proactively manage risks and strengthen the state’s transportation infrastructure against natural and human-made hazards. Rooted in lessons from the 2013 flood disaster, the plan highlights CDOT’s Risk and Resilience Program and its commitment to minimizing disruptions and adapting to changing conditions, including those driven by climate change. It also aligns with national initiatives like the PROTECT program under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, integrating resilience into both short- and long-term planning. Through ongoing updates and data-driven strategies, the CDOT RIP serves as a framework for maintaining a safe, reliable, and adaptive transportation system.
