This UVA Speaks podcast features Andrew Mondschein, Associate Professor of Urban and Environmental Planning and Associate Dean of Research at the School of Architecture at the University of Virginia. Mondshein provides an overview of the U.S. transportation system, which relies heavily on cars and often leads to traffic congestion and rising traffic fatalities. He highlights the importance of exploring multimodal transportation options to create more walkable, bikeable, and transit-friendly cities and municipalities. When making infrastructure decisions, Mondshein emphasizes that transit choices cannot be made in isolation; broader equity and affordability considerations must also be considered.
