Transportation is a fundamentally geographical phenomenon:
Every movement starts somewhere, ends somewhere, and follows a certain route through space and time. Every movement affects, and is affected by, conditions at the origin, at the destination, and along the way. Transportation must be studied across spatial scales, from local to regional to global.

Transportation geography, a subarea of human geography, has two themes:
a - The first is transportation and spatial organization:
- how transportation is organized geographically (networks, corridors, hierarchies, hinterlands, intermodal connections, and so on), and
- how transportation organizes other human activities (land use patterns, industrial location, urban hierarchies, information flows, shopping, regional development, trade, and the natural environment).

b - The second theme is transportation geography and real-world problem-solving. The approach, which is heavily but not exclusively quantitative, overlaps with the disciplines of planning, business, and engineering because basic transportation models deal with fundamentally geographic questions such as where is traffic generated, where do flows go, what mode is chosen, what routes are followed, where are networks constructed, and where are activities located.
