From the non-stop subway ride to the “infamed” jaywalking, from the well-acclaimed Citi bike to delivery on almost anything, from the iconic yellow cab to the fist fight over a parking spot, from the Chinatown bus to congestion pricing, this course investigates the kaleidoscope of travel behavior by New Yorkers and their essential connection to the functionality of the City. It explores the unique transportation infrastructure behind these behaviors as well as the policies and rules that provide them and regulate their usage. Through this behavior—infrastructure--policy loop, this course encourages students to decipher the complexity of urban travel and think about innovative and effective interventions to induce, mandate, or even “manipulate” the right travel behavior for a sustainable and equitable urban future.
