# Transport (adaptation)

### Climate change adaptation in transport includes:

* **Infrastructure**: Protecting, maintaining, and strengthening transportation infrastructure from climate change damage. This can include:
  * Using new materials that can withstand extreme temperatures 
  * Climate proofing underground tunnels 
  * Relocating infrastructure that's past its lifetime or can be severely damaged 
  * Restoring natural floodplains 
  * Consolidating hill slopes near roads and railways with tree planting and maintenance 
* **Operations**: Adjusting services, equipment, and procedures to adapt to the future effects of climate change. This can include:
  * Considering higher temperatures when tendering for new vehicles 
  * Upgrading older equipment
  * Developing contingency plans
  * Using real-time information systems 
* **Routes**: Avoiding new mass transit corridors in flood-prone areas 
* **Fuel**: Using alternative fuels in vehicles to help conserve fuel and reduce emissions 
* **Drainage**: Improving drainage or earthworks 
* **Stormwater management**: Using proper stormwater management techniques
