The selection of courses will be decided by the student in close consultation with their supervisor or the program advisor. Each student will be expected to select courses which permit the development of skills and knowledge to meet the student's interests and requirements. Courses can be selected from offerings from other graduate academic units and certain undergraduate offerings.

Lectures deal with: the evolution of local government; rationalization; bureaucracies and organizational structures; systems approaches; performance standards; shifting social needs; and public policy issues.

CE 6553  Pavement Materials (3 ch)

ECON 6805 Transportation Economics I * (3 ch)
This course focuses on basic tools of economic analysis to determine demand and supply
in transportation markets. Considerable attention is devoted to the derivation of
market and aggregate demand for transportation services as well as to cost functions as
determinants of supply of transportation services. Efficient pricing of transportation
services is analysed. Investment criteria are reviewed to determine the efficient
pricing. Market failures and imperfections of transportation markets are examined.


* These courses are designated as core courses and must be completed by all transportation graduate students.
