Transportation engineers are concerned with the planning, design, construction, operation, maintenance and management of all forms of transportation systems for both people and goods. Transportation engineers design, test, and optimize systems and structures used to move people, cars, trucks, trains, airplanes, and ships in a safe, efficient, and sustainable manner. They also plan future travel needs of urban and rural areas as populations increase and economic activities evolve, and design proactive strategies to alleviate traffic congestion and related environmental problems.
