The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog USA.

A new analysis from Transportation for America found that a $4.6-trillion “moonshot” over the next 20 years would be enough to bring the transit networks in most American cities up to par with world-class communities like Berlin, Paris, Oslo and Buenos Aires, which all have more than 115 transit vehicles on the street and underground per 100,000 residents — not to mention excellent service and dedicated rights-of-way to match.

Plus: Crossroads: A Transportation Equity and Justice Convening kicks off in Washington, D.C. this Thursday, representing unified and steadfast commitment to a more equitable transportation system, amidst devastating federal cuts to transportation infrastructure and research, and leadership failing to meet the moment.
