PLAC 574 - Transportation Planning and Policy

This course introduces graduate and advanced undergraduate students to current issues in the field of transportation planning and policy.  It addresses all modes of transportation (auto, walk, bike) and considers multiple scales (national, state, regional and local).  Through the analysis of key topics such as congestion, air quality, social equity, and security, we will gain an understanding of how decisions about the transportation system are made and the role of transportation planners and advocates in these decisions.
