Ecologically Sustainable Transportation: Planning, Building, and Operations provides transportation researchers, practitioners and policymakers with a consistent and cohesive examination of the local, regional and national environmental issues in sustainable transportation systems planning, development and implementation. The book compiles numerous topics together in one resource to bridge the gap between the study and practice of these interdisciplinary fields. It is an accessible resource for transportation professionals on the basics of ecology, its principles, how to connect the academic and technical literature, ecological planning, mitigation, monitoring, and the entire spectrum of road ecology issues in sustainable transportation systems.
