Transportation Funding

The candidate's plan has...just about everything in it. But which programs will actually get the most federal money?

Mitch McConnell just accidentally created a lot of new fans for a Democratic infrastructure bill.

The House reportedly likely to vote on a major infrastructure bill soon — and if it passes, it will have big consequences for the future of sustainable transportation in the U.S.

A new ballot question initiative in Maryland aims to give Baltimore voters a say in the creation of a city-specific transit agency — which could be a crucial tool in the fight for transportation equity in Charm City, advocates argue. For nearly half a century, Baltimore has been one of the largest cities in America lacking a regional transit authority. Most if, not all, of the city’s public transit is administered by a sole governing body, the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA). The MTA oversees the State’s network of buses, subway, commuter trains, and light rail.

"By saying yes to our transportation system, Cincinnati [is] poised for growth and improved access to jobs, education, health care and all that our region has to offer," says one city booster.
