The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog USA.

Happy Monday! Today we have a complicated study on car dependence and happiness, some leadership reshuffling over at SFMTA, and more in today’s headlines.

But first…

The weather is getting colder and wetter, and there’s no better way to brave the elements on two wheels than with your very own Streetsblog-branded Cleverhood jacket or poncho! 15 percent of sales will be donated to Streetsblog USA, making this a stylish and practical way to support our work. Join the waitlist here and you’ll be the first to know when they’re available.



If you live somewhere dry but still want to support our work, why not donate to our winter fundraising campaign?

Streetsblog provides high-quality journalism and analysis for free — which is something to be celebrated in an era of paywalls. But the work Streetsblog does is not free; we rely on the generosity of our readers to help support our reporters and editors as they advance the movement to end car dependency in our communities.

If you already support our work, thank you! Can you brag about us to your friends and ask them to do so as well? If you aren’t a supporter yet, please join us and help us push for a more livable, walkable, bikeable, equitable and enjoyable country for all.

And happy holidays from the Streetsblog team!
