Sustainable Transportation Curricula

The National Center for Sustainable Transportation (NCST) seeks to ensure that transportation professionals have the necessary knowledge and skills to design, operate, and maintain sustainable transportation systems. This report provides a structured review of existing sustainable transportation courses to serve as foundation for the development of NCST model curriculum and to support course development elsewhere. This report provides an inventory of transportation-related courses and course concepts. The report also surveys models and modeling support tools, current research topics, and industry job descriptions to identify room for growth in sustainable transportation curricula.
