About this book
Reviews
“Gudmundsson et al. have written a text aimed at graduate-level students and transportation industry personnel to consider the myriad ways in which to apply more sustainable principles to transportation policies and practices. … This thoughtful, excellently planned book may be written for transportation practitioners and transit students, but the lessons within it should matter to everyone who drives a car, or takes a bus, train, or plane.” (Bernice Glenn, Computing Reviews, December, 2015)
