Todd Long currently teaches Transportation Policy and Administration (CEE 6605). He has taught this class for 8 years and seen nearly 150 students come through the class. This course introduces the student to critical institutional and administrative concepts in transportation. Students leave the class with practical knowledge that the normal academic curriculum will not provide. The theme of the course is to prepare the student for a productive career in transportation that ultimately will be more than simple engineering and data analysis. Understanding organizational structure and predicting policy outcomes in the transportation sector will give students a huge advantage in their career.
