During the last two decades, sustainability has become the dominant concern of transportation planners and policymakers. This timely text provides a framework for developing systems that move people and products efficiently while minimizing damage to the local and global environment. The book offers a uniquely comprehensive perspective on the problems surrounding current transportation systems: climate change, urban air pollution, diminishing petroleum reserves, safety issues, and congestion. It explores the full range of possible solutions, including applications of pricing, planning, policy,…mehr
During the last two decades, sustainability has become the dominant concern of transportation planners and policymakers. This timely text provides a framework for developing systems that move people and products efficiently while minimizing damage to the local and global environment. The book offers a uniquely comprehensive perspective on the problems surrounding current transportation systems: climate change, urban air pollution, diminishing petroleum reserves, safety issues, and congestion. It explores the full range of possible solutions, including applications of pricing, planning, policy, education, and technology. Numerous figures, tables, and examples are featured, with a primary focus on North America.
William R. Black, PhD, until his death in 2013, was Professor Emeritus in the Department of Geography at Indiana University in Bloomington. A foundational figure in transport geography, he directed over 20 transportation research and planning projects, published over 200 research papers and reports, and authored, coauthored, or edited seven books. He founded the Transportation Geography Specialty Group of the Association of American Geographers (AAG), was a key figure in the development of the Journal of Transport Geography, and served on numerous panels and committees of the Transportation Research Board of the National Research Council. Dr. Black received the Edward L. Ullman Award for significant contributions to transportation geography from the AAG, which also selected him to present the Fleming Lecture in Transportation Geography.
