Transportation Planning Experience

Important

This application exercise should be submitted via Canvas by Sept. 08 (by end of day).

The transportation planning experience is an opportunity to engage with transportation planning and analysis outside of the classroom through podcasts, news stories, books, seminars, and other activities. You should provide a short reflection (no more than 1 page) on the item. Keep in mind the following (non-exhaustive) questions:

1. How does the item relate to transportation planning?
2. How do you think the tools you will learn in this course might be relevant?
3. Do you have any thoughts/opinions on the topic?

Transportation planning experience ideas:

• Listen to a war on cars podcast episode.
• Watch a transportation themed movie or television program, such as “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles”, “Race Across The World” (not “The Amazing Race”), or “The Human Scale”.
• Read a news article from Streetsblog or CityLab.
• Read a news article about a local transportation project/issue
• Attend a public meeting for Vision Zero Omaha, or a similar initiative.
