The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog USA.

We made it to Friday, folks. Let’s celebrate by watching this week’s Friday Video from More Perfect Union that connects the dots between the Trump administration’s cuts to walkability or bike-priority transportation projects, cuts to major transit infrastructure, Big Oil and Big Auto, and the decades-long effort to reduce the power of unions.

And speaking of anti-transit cuts… Kea Wilson takes a deep dive into the connections between the government shutdown and cuts to federal transit funding in New York. Spoiler alert: It’s not just New York that would be impacted here if the budget passes.

Walk or roll into your weekend with these and more stories from the livable streets movement:
