NYTWU 210 - Operations Management in Public Transportation (3 Credits)

Prerequisite: None
This course focuses on engineering systems and public administration theories, concepts and tools used in both daily transit operations as well as long term operations planning. Starting with a brief review of urban mass transit’s history, the course compares transit modes in terms of vehicle and control system technologies, right-of-way requirements, capacity and demand, and workforce utilization. The course examines transit’s relationship to urban development as mediated by topography, geography, demography and other local characteristics. It also places transit operations into broader policy and fiscal context.
