Struggling transit agencies. An epidemic of pedestrian fatalities. It is clear that transportation is not working in the United States and that we need to rethink our approach. In \u003ci\u003eShifting Gears\u003c\/i\u003e, Susan Handy provides an in-depth history of the ideas embedded in American transportation policy and the emergence of new ways of thinking that could give us better transportation options. Weaving in bits of her own personal narrative, Handy gives readers a deeper and clearer understanding of our transportation system and the roots of its successes and failures. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHandy covers the myriad costs of car ownership, the futility of expanding highways, and the misplaced faith in technological innovation. She offers new ideas and strategies that can improve the health of our car-centric transportation system--most crucially, the idea that communities across the country must create an array of choices for daily travel. \u003ci\u003eShifting Gears\u003c\/i\u003e asserts that a diverse transportation ecosystem is essential for creating more just, sustainable communities, but getting there will take a dramatic shift in how we think about transportation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Handy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0262546965\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780262546966\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MIT Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2024","brand":"Susan Handy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44213109129471,"sku":"9780262546966","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5ed47719-07b9-44d4-be03-607da451b699.jpg?v=1692112124","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shifting-gears-susan-handy-9780262546966","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
