What does transportation mean to you?
For me, transportation is not simply a question of moving from point A to point B. It’s a field that encompasses technology, human behaviour and social organization. I find it fascinating to see how the various modes of transportation reflect the needs and values of communities, and I really enjoy the social aspect of transportation projects aimed at improving the daily lives of people.
