It deals with passenger and freight operations, air and surface modes, inbound and outbound logistics, and private and public policies. While not ignoring traditional problems and solutions, the course has been revised to focus on critical issues facing transportation companies in today's environment, one with heightened expectations on all sides: customers want reliable service and reasonable prices; employees and regulators want greater safety and security; citizens want access to services and responsible care of the environment without tax increases; and shareholders want at least market returns or their investments. Are transportation systems as important as they once were? Is new technology to meet the challenges available and affordable? What are the critical new directions in public policy (taxation, regulation, antitrust, subsidy, trade promotion, etc.)? What does the future hold for transportation firms and services?
