- Transportation is often seen as a place of bipartisan calm, an "island of normalcy"... It's clear now more than ever that that is no longer the case. @stevenhigashide.com's latest piece shows how USDOT has been instrumental in Trump’s authoritarian push.
- Thank you to @vanhollen.senate.gov and @fetterman.senate.gov for reintroducing the Moving Transit Forward Act 🚌🚇, which would create a much needed federal program to fund increased transit service across the country. www.vanhollen.senate.gov/news/press-r...

Let’s make sure that clean air is on everyone’s wishlist and hold big corporations accountable! #CleanDeliveries Click here: electrifyny.org/warehouses

- In his latest blog, my colleague @ucsdave.bsky.social clarifies how much the trucking industry damages our roadways, and how the public subsidizes them by around $88 billion a year to do so (not to mention over $170 billion/year in health and climate costs) blog.ucs.org/dave-cooke/t...
- Today is a huge day for people across Illinois -- at 4am the legislature passed SB2111 to not just prevent transit service cuts but actually EXPAND service -- UCS estimates $1.5B to be able to support around 35% more transit service over the coming years blog.ucs.org/kshen/illino...

- School graduations, going to work.. even doing your best to navigate the system, going to immigration court hearings and appointments can be risky. "Transportation and immigration are inseparable. If movement is a right, then that right must apply to everyone" Ruth Rosas @americawalks.bsky.social
- Uber reinvents the bus but worse -- without public accountability or a commitment to serve everyone who needs to get around, rich or poor. Will Route Share complement transit? Or will it gum up the same routes, compete for the same passengers, and cause even more emissions?
- Demand for transportation options is growing - people are increasingly choosing transit 🚌🚇. But still over half of the country’s population does not live near any transit whatsoever. Meanwhile, agencies' hard-earned recovery faces the threat of fiscal cliffs. Read more: blog.ucs.org/kshen/how-mu...

- “In normal times, engineers, planners, and other transportation professionals draw on our training to help make our communities safer, healthier, and more prosperous. In these abnormal times, speaking out helps achieve the same ends.” - @shigashide.bsky.social’s new blog on Musk’s history of lies.
- It all adds up--check out my latest blog on cumulative impacts and transportation, NEPA, and policies that holistically protect communities from harm. Esp. in these times, we must hold the line AND keep the vision for a healthy and just future. blog.ucs.org/kshen/transp... s/o @ourstreetsmn.org
- Key take on NEPA: we must protect it from current attacks, and much more is needed, especially for harmful projects like highway expansions. The current process gives a crucial route to public engagement, but depends on if a project is deemed to have "significant impacts", often a subjective Q.
