One of the greatest achievements in transit that no one talks about is the extent to which MTA subway mosaics have been installed. Simply going through the list of installations, it's become apparent to me that the vast majority were created during my lifetime

This is a rather telling statement. Nearly a third of women in Louisiana are Black. www.businessinsider.com/gop-senator-...
Maternal death rate isn't as bad if you don't count Black women, GOP senator says
Louisiana's Bill Cassidy said the state's maternal death rate isn't so high if you "correct our population for race," Politico reported.

New AC sleep mask for business passengers. Top notch. We need this elsewhere. Too bad the amenity kits now need to be requested

I have to say, lighting makes a real difference in terms of reducing a sketch factor at stations. These light towers are less than ideal so hopefully BART is avale to fund permanent fixtures in and around station lands

Once again, NPR doing the actual journalism on national policy issues that ends up getting figured out when some old crank that only listens to the radio becomes president and does a massive Great Society/Build Back Better-style funding plan
Unstable federal funding puts at risk the government statistics used to track the U.S. economy and population, officials and data users warn. That's before any cuts by President Trump and Congress.

Hey Toronto folks, remember when people kept driving their cars into the Union Station tunnels? Well BART now its own version of that
There is no BART service between Antioch and North Concord because a car crashed into our trackway near Pittsburg/Bay Point.
Riders should go to North Concord. Some buses are available.

Seems like this is the first confirmation that BART has exercised all options for FOTF trains, and I’m all here for this
Yes, we are still getting more new cars, which is a great thing for the Bay Area and we thank all of our funding partners.
BART’s legacy fleet had 775 cars. We now have 860 news cars and that number will grow to 1129.

Saw this @bart.gov car rolling through Tehachapi on the 58. Must be some kind of new BART service to Vegas.

Reasons this thing was studied as a metro:
1. It's long — 20+ mi long, and a lot of people would be using it to go large distances
2. RR would be more expensive because of geography
3. BRT would not serve the nodes it needs to serve
4. LRT would be all grade separated for no additional benefits

San Diego is studying building its first subway line.
The Purple Line is projected to have nearly 30,000 daily riders, cost more than $20 billion and take at least 15 years to complete.
It's going to be built and get federal funding.

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about how the Trump presidency will impact transit. While we can't predict the future, we know progress happens when we work hard and stay consistent.
I'm not giving up on transit, and neither should you.
