AI Summary

This bill aims to enhance the resilience of Massachusetts' transportation infrastructure by requiring the Department of Transportation and the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority to conduct vulnerability assessments and adaptation cost assessments for their assets. These assessments will identify climate-related risks and prioritize adaptation strategies, considering factors such as asset vulnerability, anticipated climate risks, safety concerns, and impact on environmental justice communities. The bill also mandates the incorporation of these prioritized adaptation strategies into the department's modernization and state of good repair investments, as well as the authority's capital investment plans.
