Transportation Engineering, Economics, and Policy
The transportation system moves people and goods around the world, but there are also downsides of transportation: harming local air quality, contributing to climate change, causing traffic accidents, and wasting people's time on congested roads or canceled trips. Mitigating these downsides requires new policies, new technologies, and new decisions by households and businesses. An integrated perspective--including engineering, economics, and policy--is essential to meet these challenges and improve the transportation system's efficiency and equitability. Focusing on the US transportation system, students will apply an integrated economics, policy, and engineering perspective to analyze transportation's most pressing challenges.
