Center for Climate Change and Environmental Forecasting The focal point in the DOT of technical expertise on transportation and climate change More information is available at climate.volpe.dot.gov Department of Transportation (DOT) The Center is the focal point in the DOT of technical expertise on transportation and climate change. Through strategic research, policy analysis, partnerships and outreach, the Center creates comprehensive and multi-modal approaches to reduce transportation-related greenhouse gases and to mitigate the effects of global climate change on the transportation network. The Center researches transportation strategies and technologies to reduce greenhouse gases, identifies facilities that may be at risk from possible effects of climate change and climate anomalies, and develops an array of tools to assess the transportation system's ability to adapt to variances in global climate. Current research is focused on emissions trading, international projects, early action, tax credits, alternative fuels, and urban ferries. DOT is also working with other agencies to launch an interagency study of how climate changes may impact transportation systems and planning.
