  • Tesla sales are up, the EV version of corporate welfare. (NY Times)
  • A legendary pro-car columnist who lives on a low-lying island in New York City is now complaining that drivers might have to pay for the damage they do. (SI Advance)
  • Not content with zero traffic deaths for several years, Hoboken, N.J. is doing more Vision Zero work. (Tap Into Hoboken)
