Draft Merced County Transportation Network Vulnerability Assessment

Excited to see the Draft Merced County Transportation Network Vulnerability Assessment officially released for public review by the Merced County Association of Governments I MCAG.

Our team at VRPA Technologies, Inc. has been proud to support this important effort as a subconsultant alongside WSP, helping engage communities throughout Merced County on transportation resilience and climate adaptation planning.

The draft assessment evaluates how climate-related impacts such as wildfires, extreme heat, and severe precipitation may affect the region’s transportation network while identifying strategies that can strengthen long-term resilience, sustainability, and community connectivity.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to contribute through public engagement, bilingual outreach efforts, community surveys, and pop-up events that helped bring local voices into the planning process. Community input continues to play a critical role in shaping transportation solutions that are resilient, equitable, and future-focused.

Thank you to Merced County Association of Governments I MCAG, WSP, partner agencies, stakeholders, and community members who contributed to this effort. Looking forward to seeing the project continue moving forward.
