The U.S. continues to lag behind other countries both in terms of its overall transit system and individual projects, which are costlier and take longer here.

NACTO is not falling for that old "my car broke down" line. Plus, range anxiety is illogical, and Florida is starting to prepare for Hurricane Ian.

But Congress didn't CARE enough about transit during the pandemic, it turns out. Money from federal COVID stimulus acts may not be enough to see some larger agencies through their ridership crisis.

Amtrak says it will go zero-carbon by 2045. Plus, the EPA is establishing a new unit for social justice issues.

But not getting behind the wheel! Especially now that federal regulators have recommended mandating alcohol sensors in new cars.

Traffic deaths declined for the first time in almost two years, reversing a disturbing trend dating back to summer of 2020.

One in four U.S. adults lack access to reliable transportation. The problem affects half of those who live below the poverty line, but also nearly a fifth of car owners.

Just switching from gas to electric cars won't be enough to avert a climate catastrophe, or save the lives of the thousands killed by drivers.

Amtrak is back on now that a railroad strike was called off. Plus, an Uber hack, a Detroit freeway with a legacy of racism and more news.

Labor unions and freight railroads have come to a tentative agreement, which is good news for passenger rail services that use those tracks.

Actually, it's freight rail workers who are going on strike. But the strike will affect Amtrak and transit agencies that use those tracks.

Here are this year's most outrageously expense and useless highways, according to U.S. PIRG and Streetsblog.
