Committee on Historical and Societal Impacts of Transportation

The Committee on Historical and Societal Impacts of Transportation studies how transportation systems—like roads, trains, and airports—affect societies and history. It examines how these systems influence economic development, urban growth, community relationships, and cultural change over time. The committee's goal is to understand both positive and negative impacts, providing insights that help design transportation policies and infrastructure that benefit society, promote sustainability, and address social equity. This work ensures transportation advancements support societal well-being while considering historical contexts and future implications.
