  • A new Urban Institute tool lets you see where federal funding for transportation, housing, climate change and more is going.

  • The U.S. DOT is adding bike lanes and wider sidewalks to a Provo bridge. (KUTV)
  • A new U.K. development is built around people and bikes rather than cars. (CityLab)
