Do you walk, bike, take the bus, drive a gas guzzler or use a ride-share service? Will we all be driving electric cars someday soon? How about self-driving cars? The methods we use to move ourselves around are intimately connected to our finances, energy policy, infrastructure decisions, racial and economic justice, and global climate change. In this course, Andrea Hamre, a transportation researcher at MSU, will introduce key concepts in transportation policy and planning such as mobility and accessibility, review some transportation history, offer international comparisons and examine the latest trends. There will be particular attention to transportation issues in Montana.
