CE 501 / CE 400
Seminar on Sustainable Transportation
Welcome
Welcome to the web site for the seminar
on sustainable transportation. This seminar is a direct result of
a conference held on the University of Idaho campus in September 2005, "Sustainable
Transportation - On Campus and in the Community".
The seminar is held weekly during the
spring semester 2006, on Mondays, from 130 pm to 300 pm in the
conference room of the
National Institute for Advanced Transportation Technology
(Engineering/Physics Building 113).
The purpose of the seminar is to learn
more about the principles of sustainable transportation as well study a
current project proposed by the City of Moscow, the ring road. The
seminar will consider the implications of the ring road concept from a
variety of discipline perspectives. University faculty and
students, as well as members of the community and local agency staff,
are participating in the seminar.
The following is a list of principles
that were developed by faculty who helped to plan this seminar:
- We learn about sustainability.
- We learn about examples from other
areas.
- We apply what we learn to specific
community projects.
- We believe that interdisciplinary
teams are needed to address today's transportation problems.
- We are a range of stakeholders.
- We believe in an inclusive,
cooperative process.
- We provide practical learning
experiences for students.
- We provide information and
technical support for the community and local government.
- We provide a bridge between the
university and the community.

Context sensitive solutions
"Context
sensitive solutions (CSS) is a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach
that involves all stakeholders to develop a transportation facility that
fits its physical setting and preserves scenic, aesthetic, historic and
environmental resources, while maintaining safety and mobility. CSS is
an approach that considers the total context within which a
transportation improvement project will exist."
