The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog USA.

TGIF on the last full workweek of 2025! As is tradition on Fridays here at Streetsblog, we have some great video and podcast material to usher you into the weekend (and hopefully a sleepy holiday season). First, check out a mini-doc about Amtrak’s Mardi Gras service between Mobile and New Orleans. And then listen to the newest Talking Headways episode where we interview Carter Lavin about his new book, “If You Want to Win, You’ve Got to Fight: A Guide to Effective Transportation Advocacy.”
