Transportation is often a means to an end – a way to access goods, services, or opportunities. Transportation is inextricably linked with the built environment and quality of life. The Transportation & Communities program examines transit-oriented communities; transportation and urban design; linkages between gentrification, displacement, and mobility; active transportation; pedestrian and bicycle planning; complete streets; and livable streets.
