Abstract
The transportation sector's functionality depends on climate conditions. Many New York State residents, communities, businesses, and institutions have already experienced transportation-related climate change impacts, and many more will experience impacts in the future. This chapter examines climate change impacts on the various modes of transportation in New York State. It also highlights climate-driven vulnerabilities among the state's communities, workers, regions, and businesses, with particular attention paid to issues of equity and environmental justice.
