Abstract:

Explores the complexity of the context surrounding U.S. Transportation Policy. Walking as a transportation mode is limited to a byproduct of transit-oriented development. Accordingly, the paper is not very useful for development in the public right-of-way.

Prepared for the 2nd Internatinal Conference on the Future of Urban Transport, Goteborg, Sweden.
