Discover insider secrets of how America's transportation system is
designed, funded, and built - and how to make it work for your
community In Confessions of a Recovering Engineer: Transportation
for a Strong Town, renowned speaker and author of Strong Towns
Charles L. Marohn Jr. delivers an accessible and engaging
exploration of America's transportation system, laying bare the
reasons why it no longer works as it once did, and how to modernize
transportation to better serve local communities. You'll discover
real-world examples of poor design choices and how those choices
have dramatic and tragic effects on the lives of the people who use
them. You'll also find case studies and examples of design
improvements that have revitalized communities and improved safety.
This important book shows you: The values of the transportation
professions, how they are applied in the design process, and how
those priorities differ from those of the public. How the standard
approach to transportation ensures the maximum amount of traffic
congestion possible is created each day, and how to fight that
congestion on a budget. Bottom-up techniques for spending less and
getting higher returns on transportation projects, all while
improving quality of life for residents. Perfect for anyone
interested in why transportation systems work - and fail to work -
the way they do, Confessions of a Recovering Engineer is a
fascinating insider's peek behind the scenes of America's
transportation systems.
