Abstract
Vermont experienced two catastrophic floods in 2023. This study sought to investigate how different factors impact an individual’s transportation resilience following a flood. This is important to understand as climate change increases flooding. Data was collected by surveying respondents about their mobility, flood damage, recovery, demographics, and more. Statistical analysis showed that while direct flood impacts can affect mobility, other factors are also important. Specifically, a logistic regression model found that non-homeowners are 4.7 times more likely to experience long-term decreased mobility compared to homeowners. Similarly, unemployed individuals are 3.6 times more likely to have long-term worsened mobility.
