In the book, Renne, Wolshon, Murray-Tuite, Pande and Kim demonstrate how to minimize the transportation impacts associated with these urban disasters, with an ultimate goal of returning them to at least status quo in the shortest feasible time.
- Assesses the short and long-term impacts of transportation systems on the natural environment at local, regional and global scales
- Examines transportation systems in relation to risk, vulnerability, adaptation, mitigation, sustainability, climate change and livability
- Shows how urban transportation investments in transit, walking and bicycling result in significantly lower per capita carbon emissions when compared to investing in sprawling, automobile dependent regions

Brian Wolshon
Dr. Brian Wolshon is the Edward A. and Karen Wax Schmitt Distinguished Professor of Engineering in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Louisiana State University (LSU), where he has been a faculty member since January 1997. He is the founding Director of the US DOT-sponsored Gulf Coast Research Center for Evacuation and Transportation Resiliency. An internationally recognized expert in emergency evacuation and transportation resilience, Dr. Wolshon chaired the Transportation Research Board’s Committee on Emergency Evacuation for 17 years, having founded it in 2001. He has authored hundreds of reports, book chapters, and scientific journal papers, including notable works such as the 7th Edition of the Institute of Transportation Engineers’ Traffic Engineering Handbook. His research has significantly advanced the understanding of mass evacuations and is frequently cited by academics and practitioners alike. Dr. Wolshon’s expertise is sought after by media organizations worldwide, leading to numerous interviews across various platforms.
