A report currently being prepared by the Bay Conservation and Development Commission, "Living with a RisingBay: Climate Change impacts on the San Francisco Bay and Adaptation Strategies, highlights areas in the Bay Areavulnerable to sea level rise. Both existing and future regional transportation infrastructure could be seriously affectedby such an event. This chart highlights these possible effects by showing the impact of sea level rise within thecounties surrounding the San Francisco bay. The total number of affected miles for existing and futuretransportation infrastructure is also included.
Note:This chart identifies linear assets such as roads and rail lines. Additionally, only projects that could be categorizedinto either road, rail or transit were included for consideration as future infrastructure. This analysis also shows animpact on some airports and seaports due to sea level rise.
