A System at Risk is a comprehensive analysis of the transportation
dilemma in the United States that continues to affect the economic
competitiveness and quality of life in America. Written for the
layman and the professional alike, it describes an impending crisis
in the surface transportation system, which is the foundation of
economic vitality. Dr. Harold Worrall exposes the underlying
relationship between transportation and economics by reviewing
public economic theory and choice. Incremental policy making has
done little to reduce automobile and truck traffic growth. Further,
an analysis of traffic congestion demonstrates a geometric growth
pattern for congestion even as traffic grows linearly. Dr. Worrall
reviews the European Union and China for the manner in which they
have addressed similar challenges. These competing economies are
shown to have a strategy for dealing with surface transportation
and are in stark contrast to that of the United States.
Transportation funding is shown to be inadequate in volume and
method of application as traffic volumes continue to grow. Dr. that
consider a relationship between the price and consumption of
transportation.
