Cape Cod
Pilot Project
The Interagency Climate Change Scenario Planning Cape Cod Pilot Project was established to develop a successful and replicable process for integrating climate change mitigation and adaptation measures into a transportation and land use planning strategy. Analysis included identifying different areas suitable for varying levels of growth or preservation based on sea level rise vulnerability, and opportunities to implement transportation measures which will reduce greenhouse gas emissions built upon sound land use planning, transportation planning, and environmental considerations. Led by the Department of Transportation's (DOT) Volpe Transportation Center (with selected consultants), the study area for the pilot project includes the15 towns ofCape Cod. Planning Group members include: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Department of Defense (DOD), and the Cape Cod Commission.
