Transpo policy @publicenterprise.bsky.social , also fighting for abundant housing + transit in MA. Anti-cynicism.
- Reposted by Jackson Moore-OttoThe way to increase construction productivity is to have a long pipeline of small, repetitive projects where crews become efficient by constructing the same building over and over and over. This requires by-right approval and small scopes. The canonical example: Houston townhouses.

- Reposted by Jackson Moore-OttoThe same circumstances are true when it comes to metro systems. China opened more metro lines in 2025 alone than exist in the entire countries of Russia, UK, or France. Over the past 4 years, China built 2.5x as much metro lines as the US has in total.

- Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
- Reposted by Jackson Moore-OttoWill America build transit using the latest design best practices, like automation, electrification and through-running service? Or will it continue to build slow, at-grade light rail lines; infrequent diesel commuter trains; and short, impossibly expensive heavy rail subway extensions?

- Great to see RRIF and TIFIA reforms moving forward. Next step: doing for transit what this does for TOD. Electrification + automation stand out as good candidates for capital, not grants.

- Reposted by Jackson Moore-OttoI know Jay Powell and have a lot of respect for him. Even when we disagree on policy, he (a) understands that his voice has the power to move markets and (b) zealously defends the independence of the Fed. He is not a person who would make a statement like this lightly. Will say more shortly.

- Reposted by Jackson Moore-OttoRep. Seth Moulton comes on CNN and starts by saying: "Is anyone going to just stop for a second and be honest? This is insane. What the hell are we doing? We've got a lot of problems in America today, and invading / occupying / running Venezuela does not solve any of them."

- Reposted by Jackson Moore-OttoIt would cost the country n o t h i n g for the next transpo authorization bill to take discretion away from USDOT to grant permission to pursue cordon pricing. It’s been proven here, let our cities cook.
- Important, exciting research — air pollution dropped 22% in NYC's congestion relief zone within the first 6 months of #CongestionPricing (with reductions in the surrounding neighborhoods, too) Cleaner air, better transit, great data — all thanks to #CongestionPricing!
