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.

MDOT has crafted this Transportation Resilience Improvement Plan (TRIP) to direct strategic investments in critical infrastructure, proactively identify and address necessary actions, and ensure that adaptation and mitigation efforts align with MDOT’s resilience goals. This plan complies with federal mandates specified in 23 USC 176 and follows the guidelines set forth in the 2022 FHWA PROTECT Formula Program Implementation Guidance, particularly Section G (3) (FHWA 2022b), dedicated to the formulation of resilience improvement plans. The development of the TRIP by MDOT was designed to be comprehensive, incorporating various modes of transportation and addressing interdependencies and potential co-benefits of projects.

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.

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.

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).

Virginia DOT has developed a Resilience Plan to formalize a framework for incorporating resilience into transportation planning, project development, delivery, operations, maintenance and asset management. The Plan offers specific strategies built upon broad, goal-based objectives that will support appropriate and scientifically-based options for decision-makers. VDOT is currently working with FHWA to identify potential gaps between the VDOT Resilience Plan and the Resilience Improvement Plan requirements.
