Americans for years have treated the automobile as a form of
freedom. People can now live in the country and work in the city.
Suburbia and shopping malls were made possible by the automobile.
And none of this would have been possible without huge legal and
financial commitments made by all levels of government to expand
America's interstate freeway systems, regional highways,
expressways, arterials, commercial avenues, and residential
streets. Our society now has a number of significant diseconomies
associated with the individual use of the automobile. Traffic
congestion and pollution in inner cities have led to a new wave of
policies and practices to improve these conditions. The focus of
public officials and citizens in most large urban centers is on
public mass transportation, such as trains, light-rail systems, and
the increased use of buses. In the interim, traffic management
practices have increased in importance. This volume collects
outstanding recent essays on all aspects of this complex subject.
It includes numerous case studies on how cities, towns, and
communities throughout the nation are managing the unrestricted use
of the personal automobile. Other chapters discuss the future of
urban transportation and examines evolving trends. Also included
are appendices containing important information in the field.
