Abstract:

This report provides an overview of the current state of the practice on the use of cost-benefit analysis (CBA) in the decision-making process within transportation agencies, identifies how CBA can be incorporated into transportation-planning processes along with climate adaptation, and develops two frameworks for evaluating the potential cost-effectiveness of incorporating climate adaptation measures into projects. This report has the potential to serve as: a single resource that summarizes the current state of the practice for incorporating CBA into adaptation planning and analysis; a source for identifying existing, relevant data and tools to support CBA for adaptation planning; and a guide for incorporating CBA into state and local transportation asset management and planning policies and procedures that incorporate climate change and extreme weather adaptation planning.
