URBAN TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT CHALLENGES. PROCEEDINGS OF THE 74TH ANNUAL ROAD SCHOOL HELD AT PURDUE UNIVERSITY, MARCH 8-10, 1988
Some of the challenges for urban transportation management are: managing the transportation infrastructure under conditions of reduced levels of funding and determining whether to maintain the system or replace it, handling the trend towards suburban migration which causes origin and destination patterns to be widely dispersed, using a regional approach to trying to solve the problem of urban congestion with new traffic control methods along with artificial intelligence and expert systems, finding funding sources to implement changes, and increasing emphasis on education, training, and retention of traffic and transportation professionals for state and local agencies while setting up programs for career guidance, regular contacts between transportation professionals and students in university engineering schools, summer employment programs, and other similar activities.
