Marine transportation costs may be reduced. Human settlements may move northward, which would require an increase in the transportation infrastructure further north. Transportation infrastructure will need to be repaired following flooding and other climate change impacts. Actions that can Make a Difference Assuming the projected impacts of Climate Change come to pass, including sea level rise, and more extreme weather events, adaptation may be an important part of a climate change strategy for the transportation sector. The anticipated climate changes could have implications for bridge construction, road construction, ferry services among others.
Most forms of transportation are sensitive to weather in some form or another.
An example of adaptation in the Maritime Provinces is the Confederation Bridge between New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. Using your car less will also reduce air pollution , traffic, and municipal road infrastructure costs. For every 100 km you do not drive, you reduce your CO 2 emissions by 26 kg or 11 litres. Traveling in a fully occupied diesel bus uses, per person, one third of the fuel required to travel in a car alone. Ask your employer about the possibility to get a free bus pass instead of a free parking pass.
