Transportation is essential and important to an economwards the ability to trade, influence the commerce industry and move goods from one place to another. Since ty as it helps aid in economic growth and development (BTS, 2022). Without either, a country could not survive nor promote economic sustainability. The transportation industry is the lifeline to the world, and it influences many markets and sectors across the world. For instance, all of us experienced what the pandemic did to the entire world and the transportation sector. It nearly shut down all modes of transportation and those is operation were faced with challenges. These challenges ranged from increased demand of goods and the demand for qualified drivers. The shortage of food in grocery stores and essentials went on for months and it has recently gotten back to normal. Not to mention the months of backlog of cargo vessels and freight at our busiest ports. It took months for those vessels to be unloaded and when they were finally able to dock at the ports, the lack of drivers was an issue as well. These are the negative example of how it impacted the economy. The positive example is that is created economic development and job creation in certain sectors that afforded employment opportunities for those working in supply chains and logistics companies. Overall, the transportation sector plays a heavy role in the economy as it forhe industry is on the cusp of recovering from the pandemic, the trend of implementing autonomous vehicles that in ways will provide a solution to driver shortage and have a less impact on the environment and reduce carbon emission gases.
