SUMMARY:EBC: MBTA: Resilience Roadmap – Part One of the Webinar Series on Climate Resiliency in Massachusetts
DESCRIPTION:Join the EBC Climate Change Committee for a webinar series exploring how Massachusetts state agencies are turning key insights from their past work into action in 2026 and beyond. \nThrough this series\, leadership from MBTA\, Massport\, MassDCR\, MEMA\, and MassDOER will present their key achievements in advancing climate resiliency over the past year\, showcasing impactful projects\, partnerships\, and measurable outcomes from 2025. Agency leadership will also provide a forward-looking perspective on upcoming initiatives\, programs\, and policy developments planned for 2026 and beyond\, offering insight into how each agency is preparing for evolving climate challenges. \nOn April 30\, 2026\, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) published its first-ever systemwide Resilience Roadmap\, a comprehensive plan to strengthen transit infrastructure and prepare operations against the impacts of climate change and severe weather\, including flooding\, extreme heat\, and cold. This roadmap was developed as a key next step following the MBTA’s release of the 2024 Climate Assessment and outlines both near- and long-term strategies to proactively reduce climate risks and improve reliability across the transit system. The webinar will cover the nine priority areas of the Roadmap and 30 new resilience strategies for the MBTA\, including recommended actions over the next five years. \nThe webinar will conclude with a moderated Q&A session for attendee questions. \n\nProgram Speakers:\n\nHannah Lyons-Galante\, Deputy Director of Climate Change Resiliency\, Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority\nCaroline Bean\, Director\, Climate and Sustainability Planning\, Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority\n\nProgram Moderator:\n\nJulie Eaton Ernst\, PE\, Chair\, EBC Climate Change Committee; Resilient Infrastructure Solutions – Practice Leader\, HNTB Corporation
