Change doesn’t happen out of nowhere; even in the tough years, building support and momentum for the things we fight for is critical. It’s the only way we win.
Remember to take the time to celebrate what we’ve accomplished and keep building toward the next ones!

2025 was a rocky year for US transportation. But there were some big wins.
At the top of the list: Manhattan congestion pricing. After 11 months, traffic is smoother, air is cleaner, and streets are quieter (but more bustling).
In Bloomberg, I shared a few more causes for celebration. 🧵

When It Comes to US Transportation, 2025 Had Some Wins, Too

Not just safety for drivers but pedestrians and cyclists too!
🎉Proud to say that I helped facilitate funding for Safe Streets and Roads for All, a project benefitting Livingston Avenue West in Columbus. This award will bring safety and efficiency for people driving through the corridor. I’m happy to have partnered with the City of Columbus on this endeavor!

Spotted in Houston: two hacked variable message signs. That the signs were placed on the sidewalk, blocking pedestrian access, makes the messages all the more urgent.
