Abstract

The impact of carbon emissions on the environment is becoming increasingly severe. The transportation industry is an important pillar of the national economy and also generates a large amount of carbon emissions. Therefore, it is necessary to provide education on energy conservation and emission reduction to future transportation practitioners in higher education. This article takes "Transportation Economics" as an example to analyze the new approach of curriculum construction based on the concept of carbon reduction in the core courses of transportation majors, and introduces the innovative teaching methods and content of the "Transportation Economics" course based on the concept of carbon reduction.
