The School of Architecture + Planning is one of three schools at MIT taking the lead in a new initiative to address the environmental impact of the world's ever-growing demand for transportation.

Led by Cynthia Barnhart, associate dean of engineering for academic affairs, the initiative is starting out as a two-year pilot program with support from SA+P, the School of Engineering and the Sloan School of Management.

Go here for a brief look at some of the transportation-related efforts already underway in SA+P’s five divisions.
