Introduction To Transportation Systems

The document summarizes 20 key transitions in transportation systems from the past to the present and future. Some of the major transitions include a shift from capital planning to real-time management, from urban to regional scale planning, an increased emphasis on accessibility over mobility, and a move from independent conventional infrastructure projects to linked advanced infrastructure projects requiring a system architecture. Transportation is also shifting from modal to intermodal perspectives and narrow transportation specialists to broader transportation professionals.
