The
transport policy and planning concentration provides a broad overview of the
field as well as the practical application of planning methods. Current urban
transport systems are examined in the context of environmental, energy, safety,
equity, financial, and health impacts. Particular focus is placed on public
transit planning, nonmotorized modes such as walking and bicycling, international
perspectives and issues, and the coordination of land use and transportation
planning. Students must take two of the three core courses, and at least one of
the recommended courses or another core course. Four transport courses in total
must be taken for the concentration. A graduate planning studio with a
transport focus or component is strongly recommended. Students interested in
the Graduate Certificate in Transportation Studies must complete five courses,
including at least one transportation course in the School of Engineering
(courses listed below as 16:180).
