A transportation-themed class with an emphasis on land use, mobility, social justice and racial equity. Previously offered through the City of Portland and Portland State University, the fall 2024 course was conducted in-person at the Metro Regional Center. This class will be offered again through Metro in the fall of 2025. Class time will be used for presentations from guest speakers, activities and class discussion.
This course will focus on equitable traffic and transportation design and planning for our communities and infrastructures across greater Portland. Students will prepare a vision plan or class project, addressing community planning for the transportation systems (e.g., roads, bridges, transit, parks, urban centers, etc.). Students are encouraged to research current design trends in the traffic and transportation industry, including new developments in connectivity, green technologies, and changing populations. Students will be engaged in assignments/project coursework using written and oral communication. This course will be taught using guest speakers and discussion combined with individual and team-centered project-based learning.
Schedule
This class is currently being redesigned and tentatively scheduled for Spring 2026. Check back for more details!
