根据美国国家科学，工程和医学学院的一份新报告，运输机构应对气候变化风险进行全面评估以获得联邦资金。

根据投资运输弹性：一个明智选择的框架，8月5日发布，美国运输部应在其项目合理性的福利成本分析（BCA）中包括弹性福利。报告指出，这些评估应纳入环境影响声明或其他评估。

The new报告发现弹性是衡量和评估公司onsistently, even when it is a prominent factor in the investment planning process. Instead, resilience should be measured and assessed using an analytic framework that incorporates detailed inventories of existing and planned transportation assets.

“Storms, floods, droughts and other natural hazards are combining with sea level rise and other effects of climate change to disrupt the functioning of the nation’s transportations systems,” said Joseph Schofer, associate dean at the Robert R. McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science at Northwestern University, and chair of the committee that wrote the report, in a news release. “Investing in resilience will require us to make carefully considered choices about how we spend money today to generate benefits that may not be realized until long into the future.”

Additionally, the report recommends that Congress direct the U.S. Dept. of Transportation to study what types of data transportation agencies need for resilience analysis.

该报告指出：“应鼓励运输机构采取多种危害方法进行弹性分析。通常，机构仍然专注于重复最近的灾难，或者仅专注于一小部分相关危害。”

该报告说，机构在衡量环境事件的成本方面的差异很大。18luck.cub例如，圣地亚哥国际机场包括对野生动植物栖息地的后果，而科罗拉多州运输部则通过计算年度所有者成本（例如资产更换和清理费用）和用户来赚取损害和破坏的后果18luck.cub18luck.cub成本（例如，浪费时间的延误和旅行费用的价值）。”

VHB区域航空总监Carol Lurie表示，该公司对联邦政府对可持续性和韧性的承诺感到“满意”。她说：“设计生活必须考虑到结构的脆弱性，未来的气候风险和其他自然危害。”“联邦政府对当今基础设施的投资将为明天更具可持续性，公平和韧性的明天提供基础，我们完全支持这一努力。”
