This report focuses on how metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) and state departments of transportation (state DOTs) can incorporate resilience into transportation planning. Metrics based on absorptive capacity, restorative capacity, equitable access, and adaptive capacity (AREA) were developed from a literature review and interviews with state DOT/MPO stakeholders. The development of these metrics are discussed along with metric inputs, activities, outputs, and outcome. In addition, the Federal Highway Administration's Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Framework (VAF) is summarized and suggestions for modifying each step to incorporate resilience are provided. The appendix includes a summary of interview results including how stakeholders define transportation resilience, the factors they think contribute to transportation resilience, the value of a resilient system, and how they would measure the benefits of resilience.
