Abstract:Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) is the state-chartered Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA) and public transportation agency for Los Angeles County (California). Metro serves as the transportation planner and coordinator, designer, builder, and operator for Los Angeles County. Metro used its existing Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP), Environmental Management System (EMS), and asset management system tools to integrate climate adaptation principles into ongoing conversations and to implement best management practices in the areas of its operations and maintenance. The project developed a comprehensive set of metrics to gauge past progress and identify new targets to guide the direction of future climate adaptation work. The project team identified messages and key points appropriate for target audiences; conducted a roundtable and a webinar; and produced a 100-second video to initiate a dialogue among stakeholders who are interested in and anticipated to work together with Metro in its climate adaptation efforts. The project sought to inform Metro staff, board members, other transit operators, and the public how they can help adapt to climate change.
