Transportation Planning and Engineering

The goal of transportation is to serve the mobility of people and goods for access to jobs, education, shopping, cultural, and other activities necessary to sustain a desired quality of life. Transportation planning and engineering involves the location, design, operations and control of transportation facilities (including roads, transit lines, terminals and stations, bikeways, and pedestrian paths) and their assessment; and it involves providing this information to decision makers to assist them in their evaluation of the alternative decisions they are facing.

As a member of the MS in Transportation Planning and Engineering program, you will find a rich mix of courses and disciplines that will enable you to plan, design, and operate and control transportation systems in an increasingly complex urban environment where resources (space, air, financing) are scarce and where the challenges are many.
