"In the area of climate change. We're dealing with all kinds of extreme weather events. You know, right now we're forgetting about torrential rainfall and rising sea levels. But those are issues for the MTA as well." The MTA Chair explicitly links current operations to a broader need for infrastructure hardening against climate change. This implies sustained, long-term government Capital Expenditure (CapEx) on engineering, drainage, and retrofitting projects to protect transit assets from flooding and rising sea levels. LONG. Engineering and construction firms like Fluor (FLR) and Jacobs (J) are the primary beneficiaries of government contracts for infrastructure resilience and climate adaptation projects. Government budget constraints or delays in funding allocation can stall large-scale infrastructure projects.
