Any sort of shot we have at making transportation in the US better requires a fundamental shift in how the profession works with transportation demand modeling
You remember the dire predictions about congestion pricing inducing more traffic and higher emissions in the South Bronx. Well none of them have come to pass, according to data analyzed by Charlie Komanoff.
KOMANOFF: Data Show South Bronx Isn’t Seeing Increased Traffic from Congestion Pricing - Streetsblog New York City
The central business district toll did not lead to a traffic influx in the South Bronx, our columnist reveals.

In our research, we first set out to theorize the potential relationships between transportation & gentrification.
Transport investments could result in increased access & desirability, and this, in turn, could increase home values. This could, in theory, result in displacement of marginalized ppl.

FHWA’s “Bike and Ped Planning, Program, and Project Development Guidance” is an invaluable resource IMHO.
It tells the policy “story” of exactly where/how walking and biking projects are accommodated within the laws, regs, and policies around the Federal transpo.
