An Evaluation of Climate-Resilient Urban Transport System Using Climate Change Scenario in Lagos Metropolis, Nigeria.

Abstract

Abstract The objective of this project is to provide transit professionals with information and analysis relevant to adapting [1] transportation assets and services to climate change impacts. Climate impacts such as thermal discomfort and flooding will hinder agencies’ ability to achieve goals such as attaining a state of good repair and providing reliability and safety. The report examines anticipated climate impacts on Lagos transit and current climate change adaptation efforts by domestic transit agencies. It further examines the effect of climate change on transport facilities. The report provides examples of adaptation strategies and discusses on how transit agencies might incorporate climate change adaptation into their organizational structures and existing activities such as asset management systems, planning, and emergency response. By focusing specifically on public transportation, and the unique assets, circumstances, and operations of that mode, the report supplements transportation sector wide studies whose scopes did not allow for more in-depth treatment of transit [1].
