transportation systems.
Good transportation is that which provides safe, rapid, comfortable,
convenient, economical, and environmentally compatible movement of both goods
and people.
This profession carries a distinct societal responsibility.
Transportation planners and engineers recognize the fact that transportation
systems constitute a potent force in shaping the course of regional
development.
