Bill > H3427

This bill aims to establish a resilient transportation system in Massachusetts. It amends existing laws to require the Department of Transportation and the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority to conduct vulnerability assessments and adaptation cost assessments for their assets, such as the metropolitan highway system and public transportation facilities. These assessments must identify adaptation solutions to address climate risks, prioritize them based on factors like severity of asset vulnerability and impact on environmental justice communities, and integrate them into modernization and state of good repair investments. The bill also requires regular progress reports on the completion of these assessments.
