The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog USA.

TGIF! Today’s edition of the Streetsblog newsletter brings you the story of the more than 1,100 organizations and businesses that are telling House Republicans that they don’t want the same old car-centric surface transportation reauthorization this time around. Instead, they’re urging that the U.S. enhances “robust investments and safety provisions for bicycling and walking infrastructure” to keep America active and boost the economy.

Plus: This week’s episode of Talking Headways, where transportation planner Yonah Freemark returns to discuss the state of transit in the United States and around the world. We consider the long-term impacts of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, how to improve transit-oriented development, the future of transportation, and updates to one of Freemark’s projects, Transit Explorer.
