Urban Transportation Problems: Ernest Daniel C. Mamanta CE-5B

This document discusses several urban transportation problems including environmental problems, lack of transportation for some groups, and loss of public spaces. It focuses on the problems of traffic congestion. Congestion occurs when transportation demand exceeds supply. The generation of congestion is influenced by traffic growth, roadway capacity, locational patterns, and the transportation system itself which evolves due to societal, economic and technological changes. Traffic grows due to population increases, development patterns, transportation policies, and individual transport behaviors. The effects of congestion include lost productivity, wasted fuel, increased pollution, more vehicle wear, higher accident risks, slower emergency responses, and impacts on public mood.
