This course investigates several revolutionary transport modes through a series of lectures, case studies, guest lectures, and in-class discussion/debates. Our journey begins with bicycle and pedestrian planning and ends with driverless cars. Transport modes covered by the course include streetcar, bus rapid transit, high-speed rail, and ride-share. Through this course students will learn: (i) the impact of various transport modes on land use, travel behavior, traffic safety, and the built environment; (ii) the planning process and challenges facing various transport modes; and (iii) successes and failures in the adoption of new transportation services and technologies.
