ICF currently provides technical and administrative support to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Planning on climate change mitigation and adaptation activities. ICF has developed a framework for analyzing climate and weather-related impacts on highway infrastructure and for incorporating risk management approaches into all aspects of highway management. ICF currently supports the state departments of transportation and metropolitan planning organizations chosen as pilots to test out this conceptual model framework. ICF also reviewed and synthesized relevant global climate change and climatological studies to assess the risk of climate change to U.S. transportation infrastructure. This review and synthesis resulted in an "effects typology" for the analysis of risk.
ICF also provided strategic support to FHWA in the development of an agency-wide adaptation plan. In addition, ICF assisted FHWA in planning and holding a peer exchange with state departments of transportation to discuss the state of knowledge on climate change impacts and adaptation most relevant to U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) planning and operations and to exchange information on needs at the state level regarding climate change adaptation. ICF is also facilitating three peer exchanges related to climate change adaptation and transportation for FHWA.
