Transport Education in Canada — A Contrast

Abstract

The rather dour outlook for transport graduates in the US noted by Gus L. Keolanui and Donald F. Wood is all too true. For a decade or so the number of transportation courses offered in US universities has declined; the numbers of students majoring in transportation has been disappointing; and the attention given to transportation topics has diminished. Some cynic would say that the quality of transport education was not very good in the first place and that many transportation courses were better off dead than alive. (While that may be true, the probability is that the quality of transportation courses on the whole was not much worse‐or much better‐than the quality of other courses in the universities in question.)
