• 1:25
  to the Brief. In City Watch, Sacramento is getting
• 1:29
  statewide recognition for its effort to make
• 1:32
  local transportation more resilient to extreme
• 1:34
  weather. The city of Sacramento has received
• 1:37
  a 2026 Beacon Leadership Award for SACADAPT,
• 1:42
  a transportation planning project developed with
• 1:45
  Sacramento Regional Transit. The plan looks at
• 1:48
  how extreme weather. Flooding and severe storms
• 1:52
  could affect Sacramento streets, sidewalks, and
• 1:55
  bike routes, as well as public transportation.
• 1:58
  It also identifies vulnerable infrastructure
• 2:01
  and recommends where future improvements may
• 2:04
  be needed. Community input played a major role.
• 2:08
  The city and SacRT held 36 outreach events and
• 2:13
  collected more than 860 survey responses. Residents
• 2:17
  said they want more shade. and tree canopies,
• 2:21
  better protected bus stops, improved drainage,
• 2:24
  and greater investment in neighborhoods especially
• 2:27
  vulnerable to extreme weather. SACADAPT was approved
• 2:33
  by the city and SACRT in April and will now help
• 2:38
  guide the future projects and grant funding.
