FHWA is establishing metrics for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness and impacts of a representative sample of projects under the Promoting Resilient Operations for Transformative, Efficient, and Cost-Saving Transportation (PROTECT) Discretionary Grant Program. The grant funding aims to ensure surface transportation resilience to natural hazards including climate change and other natural disasters through support of planning activities, resilience improvements, community resilience and evacuation routes, and at-risk coastal infrastructure. Comments on the proposed metrics are due by May 20, 2024. Please follow the online instructions for submitting comments. https://lnkd.in/eTb5SJCK
