The Santa Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG) is seeking proposals from qualified consultants to provide assistance in preparing a Resiliency Assessment of the County's multi-modal transportation network. The assessment will identify areas of the region where the multi-modal transportation network is most vulnerable to potential effects of climate change, specifically from sea level rise and increased occurrences of large fires. SBCAG intends to work with a consultant to recommend adaptation strategies for implementation and to identify a regional Climate Smart Transportation Network that utilizes nature based solutions in locations most vulnerable to climate change impacts. Funding for the project is being provided through the California Department of Transportation's Road Maintenance & Rehabilitation Account — Adaptation Planning Fund.
