contributes about 15-25% of US GHG emissions
• Approximately 40% of PM10 emissions in Seattle
• 50-60% NOx emissions

Transport Growth in Selected Developing Countries
38
Changing business practices• Outsourcing of supply• Internet commerce• Tighter management of the supply
chain• Inventory risk pooling, warehouse
consolidation• Success of very large importers• Just in time operation• Productivity improvements

Infrastructure development is not the only answer
congestion
Provide more infrastructure
Ease congestion, allow for higher speeds, encourage more driving
41
The Transportation Engineering Challenge• To safely and efficiently move people
and goods• Not just by designing and building the
transportation infrastructure, but by managing the infrastructure and demand for the infrastructure
• Design a transportation system that is sustainable
42
Intelligent Transportation Systems• Our ability to do this has developed
dramatically with electronic sensors and communication– Quantify congestion and compare
congestion costs to rationalize investment– Use cost to distribute capacity rather than
delay– Automatically detect and avoid dangers– Improve security– Operate more efficiently
