Vermont Transportation Resilience Planning Tool (TRPT)
Description
This web-based application identifies bridges, culverts, and road embankments that are vulnerable to damage from floods, estimates risk based on the vulnerability, and criticality of roadway segments, and identifies potential mitigation measures based on the factors driving the vulnerability.
The TRPT is applied at a watershed scale, has been developed for the entire state, and is ready to be applied to inform project scoping, capital programming, and hazard mitigation planning for state and local highways. The TRPT's purpose is to identify vulnerabilities in a proactive manner to avoid or mitigate against the impacts of future damages in the most critical, highest risk locations.
