Transportation Priorities

A key part of the vulnerability assessment is identifying which transportation routes and infrastructure are most vital to the community. Roads that are both at risk from climate-related hazards and essential for your daily life are our highest priorities.

We want to know which roads matter most to you. Your input will help ensure this assessment reflects your needs and priorities.

The following graphic shows how your feedback is a critical part of this report.
