The agenda for "transport day" at COP26 Glasgow is dominated almost entirely by electric cars. So, in other words, the planet is screwed.

...especially if the Build Back Better Act passes through reconciliation later this month.

The Gateway City is a pedestrian graveyard. Walking deaths have doubled in the eight years since a safety plan was adopted in 2013.

A new calculator shows the real impacts of proposed highway expansions in their communities — and the experts behind the project hope that transportation agencies will someday be required to use it, too. 

A horrific crash on National Walk to School Day is prompting advocates in Washington to demand a sixth "E" to the the five "E's" of Vision Zero: the exigency to radically reimagine District streets and put the safety of vulnerable road users first.
