Connie Kelly Tang and Lei Zhang have provided a holistic coverage
of the entire surface transportation project and program
development process from the beginning of planning though
environmental approval, design, right-of way acquisition,
construction to operations and maintenance.- Neil Pedersen,
Executive Director, Transportation Research Board, National
Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, Washington, DC
Transportation program and project development is complex. The
process spans over planning, programming, environment, design,
right of way, construction, operations, and maintenance.
Professionals from civil engineering, planning, social and
environmental sciences, business and project management, and data
science, work together in a relay team to transform an idea into a
highway, a transit hub, an airport or a water facility. It is
challenging for any one person to master all the knowledge and
skills needed to perform every relevant task. However, it is
critical for all involved to understand how this relay works and
how the societal, environmental, governmental, and regulatory
contexts influence the process and the technical solution.
Professionals who understand the process and see the big picture
are those who rise to the top as leaders. Transportation Project
and Program Development provides holistic coverage on the technical
subject matter, processes and procedures, and policy and guidance
associated with transportation project and program development,
which can help professionals become program leaders. For each phase
of the process, key products delivered, processes used, governing
principles, foundations of applicable science and engineering,
technologies deployed, and knowledge required are discussed. While
all coverages reflect the practices of the United States, the
logic, principles, science, and engineering are applicable to all
countries of the world. The book can also serve as an introductory
textbook for undergraduate students and as a textbook or reference
for a graduate-level course in civil engineering, transportation
engineering, planning, and project management.
