The Handbook of Transportation Policy and Administration explores the continuing development of transportation systems in the US and other nations, with an emphasis on the challenges created by technological change, the globalization of the world economy, the threat of terrorism, and demands that transportation decisions be seen as contributing to a broad range of political, social, and economic goals. Drawing from scholars in a wide range of disciplines, it examines the current state of major modes of transportation, including air, rail, highways, waterways, ports, urban mass transit, and considers public policies and management approaches to make transportation systems efficient, innovative, and responsive.
