State departments of transportation (DOTs) have increased their focus on resilience initiatives to address impacts from short-term and long-term stressors such as extreme weather events, wildfires, and flooding. Economic shifts, changes in population, and other disruptions also cause transportation agencies to modify their practices to accommodate uncertainty. State DOTs need tools and approaches to justify additional project expenses for increasing resilience.

NCHRP Research Report 1159: Measuring Impacts and Performance of State DOT Resilience Efforts: A Guide, from TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program, presents a guide for applying resilience performance measures (RPMs) to resilience investments made by state DOTs.

Supplemental to the report is NCHRP Web-Only Document 432: Impacts and Performance of State DOT Resilience Efforts.
