63 The 2020–2025 Transportation System Research Roadmap presents the results of a 3-year effort to gather and prioritize critical resilience research needs gleaned from a diverse set of transportation policy makers, executives, professionals, and researchers. The roadmap supports a mechanism by which the transportation community can work towards a consensus concerning those projects that will significantly advance the understanding, policy, and practice of transportation resilience.

64 Transportation System Resilience: Research Roadmap and White Papers and plan for responses to natural and human-caused disasters, including near- and long-term climate change effects on sea-level rise, droughts, forest fires, and heatwaves. Transportation agencies working across all modes continue to grapple with the dawning realization that they cannot currently plan, build, or operate their respective infrastructures to achieve and maintain the degree of resilient service expected and demanded by society and its elected representatives.

Introduction 67 Special Events The research team understood that resilience in transportation involves many constituencies other that state DOTs. Consequently, the team sought out and attended or participated in the following events where resilience research needs were generated: • The State of Resilience: A Leadership Forum and Community Workshop, sponsored by the Resilient America Roundtable (June 2016)

Introduction 69 In total, more than 180 specific needs were identified from nine source categories. This set of needs was then community rated and ranked to determine the top 125 high-interest research needs in 10 subject matter areas: emergency management, asset management, design for resilience, community resilience, cyber resilience, infrastructure interdependencies, performance measures, economics of resilience, human and social factors, and risk management.

Recommended Roadmap of 2020–2025 Research Projects 77 Economic Benefits from Making Investments in Resilient Transportation Assets Background: News stories have identified the benefits of improved building codes in relation to reduced impacts from Hurricane Irma, and identified how communications recovered quickly in most areas in Houston in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey. However, few financial and economic benefits from transportation investments that foster resilience have been documented.
