In recent years, severe weather events have caused serious damage and disruptions to the nation's transit systems. Transit systems are the lifeblood of many major cities. However, climate change is predicted to increase the intensity and frequency of severe weather events. This dissertation addresses responses to severe weather in four parts. First, it frames the problem with a case study of the methods that New York City's public transit agencies mitigated risks from severe weather using a case study. This case study examined decision making under uncertainty through the lens of managers at MTA and New Jersey Transit during two significant hurricanes: Irene (2011) and Sandy (2012). The decisions and their outcomes provided insight into three subsequent investigations: transit performance measurement, risk management in investing in protective infrastructure, and equity aspects in transit service restoration. In these three chapters, we examine the disaster response problem from different perspectives. From these component studies we derive three lessons: (1) hardening with infrastructure is only one of several options for managing severe weather; (2) defining failure is important in the framing of disruption management; allowing some component failures can sometimes prevent larger, system failures and (3) managing negative outcomes is important in preventing current and future disruptions. This examination of how transit systems can and do reduce risks by managing severe weather disruptions contributes to broader knowledge of disruption management and recovery for large infrastructure systems. By using nature as a natural experiment for these systems, agencies can use both positive and negative experiences to improve their strategies to mitigate these severe weather events.
