Sustainable Transportation Class Projects
The following are a selection of student term projects from my Sustainable Transportation class in the Fall, 2013 term. Each student has given permission for their work to be shared in the hopes that their ideas can help lead to better practice. Their oral presentations were all excellent and in many ways more compelling than the written work below. I am sure they would be happy to deliver a presentation on their work if interested. Please contact me if that is the case.

Timing the Lights by Paul Belton
