Please label the answers in your paper and keep in mind the grade will be determined on how well you answer the questions. Please submit the soft copy of the completed assignment via Laulima. You must also turn-in the article you review in order to receive credit. Reviews without attached articles will not be accepted.

Page limit: 2 pages, excluding the title page. Font: 12-point Times New Roman, double spaced.

Sources: You are encouraged to read an article regarding a transportation issue. You can access most local newspapers online or you can perform a web search for a magazine article. There are also many magazines and websites that contain good articles. Please note that you will not be allowed to review any articles assigned to you to read during the term for this assignment. It is best to choose in-depth, longer articles rather than short ones, which will lack detail and substance. It is also a good idea to start looking for articles now.
