The Resilient Shasta project intends to accomplish the following goals:
1. Development of a mobility vulnerability assessment explaining extreme weather (e.g., fire intensity, flood hazards, precipitation frequency and intensity, etc.) likely to affect the Shasta Region’s mobility infrastructure through the year 2099, the regional impacts of climate change on Shasta Region communities, and the detailed vulnerabilities of the Shasta Region’s transportation systems.
2. Development of a mobility adaptation plan identifying, evaluating, and recommending adaptation strategies for SRTA, the County of Shasta, the cities of Anderson, Redding, and Shasta Lake, Redding Area Bus Authority (RABA), Dignity Health Connected Living, and applicable state agencies to consider in creating a resilient transportation network, including planning, operational, and capital investment strategies.
3. Educational engagement with the broad Shasta Region stakeholders about the vulnerability assessment and adaptation plan effort, and how it affects them.
