| contents | Due to accelerated sea level rise and climate change, the transportation system is increasingly affected by recurrent flooding coastal regions, yet the cumulative travel disruption effects are not well understood. In Part 1 of this study, the accessibility impacts of recurrent flooding on the auto mode were examined. In this paper (Part 2 of the study), the impact of recurrent flooding on transit service accessibility was quantified with the aid of spatially and temporally disaggregated crowdsourced flood incident data from WAZE. A fixed route transit network is built for five time of day periods for 710 traffic analysis zones (TAZs), to capture the spatial and temporal variation of transit accessibility reduction due to recurrent flooding. Results show that the greatest transit accessibility reduction occurs during the morning peak hour, with individual TAZ transit accessibility reduction ranging from 0 to 88.2% for work trips (with an average of 6.4%) and ranging from 0 to 99.9% for non-work trips (with an average of 3.7%). Furthermore, social vulnerability analysis indicates that TAZs with a greater share of people with higher vulnerability in transportation and socioeconomic status are more likely to experience recurrent flooding-induced transit accessibility reduction. Results from this study reinforce the notion that transportation impacts under recurrent flooding are not uniformly experienced throughout a region, and this spatial and temporal variation translates to different impacts borne by various population groups. Disaggregate impact analysis like this study can support transportation engineers and planners to prioritize resources to ensure equitable transit accessibility under increasing climate disruptions. |
