This text provides a clear introduction to today's urban transportation issues and offers solutions for creating a sustainable urban transportation system. Historical origins and development of transportation; planning, policy, and legislative initiatives; the non-motorized and public transportation; environmental and social (in)justice issues and the concerns of safety are some of the topics covered. The book also discusses the social, health, and economic impacts of auto-centric developments and the possible soft and hard policy measures that address the issue. The very important, yet often forgotten, policy topic of changing travel behavior is also discussed in the book. Each chapter is presented clearly with easy-to-understand concepts, practical case studies, review questions, and ideas for class projects. This second edition includes revised and updated data, as well as a chapter on emerging transportation technologies and the policies surrounding them.
