The document outlines a framework for adapting public transport systems to extreme heat, structured around four pillars: establishing baselines through research and data models; aligning stakeholder goals; designing integrated solutions with nature-based and risk-informed approaches; and implementing actions like long-term urban planning, heat impact screenings, resilient materials, clean energy fleets, climatized stops, data-driven maintenance, increased transport frequency, and enhanced communications.

Key recommendations focus on reducing heat exposure across user journey phases—connecting, waiting, and riding—through shaded pathways, cooling systems, and predictive analytics. It highlights co-benefits such as improved health, reduced emissions, and economic savings, with avenues for policymakers, researchers, financiers, communities, designers, and operators to collaborate.

Real-world examples and visualizations support practical implementation, promoting sustainable, adaptive systems that protect vulnerable populations and ensure operational continuity amid climate challenges.
