Examines how urban transportation planning in support of safe and sustainable transportation is practiced in the host country. Topics include route and network planning for high-quality transit operations; transit-oriented development, including planning for large-scale urban expansion; and development of car-free areas. Examines policy regarding systematically safe road networks, including street and bikeway types and their role in enhancing livability and safety. Taught in study-abroad format in the Netherlands.

Taught in a study-abroad format in the Netherlands. Examines how the urban areas and transportation systems of that nation have been designed to promote transportation by foot, bicycle, and public transportation. Topics include design of bikeways, safe pedestrian crossings, and transit systems; urban expansion and land-use policies to promote travel by foot, bike, and public transport; roadway system design for safety and to prevent roads from becoming barriers to walking and cycling; and design for transit priority on roadways and for high-quality rail, tram, and bus service. Through design projects, offers students an opportunity to apply lessons learned to the U.S. context. View course on website
Concentrates on roadway design features that affect safety, including system users and design elements. Topics include crash causation and countermeasures, statistical procedures for crash analysis, and geometric design improvements for roads and intersections. Analyzes crash data, including both intersecting and nonintersecting locations. Presents concepts, including design, to create a safer transportation system while addressing specific high-crash locations. View course on website
