NEWS: DC Streetcar ridership is almost back to pre-pandemic levels and currently moves 4 times as many people as the entire Circulator network on a per-mile basis. 🔥 🔥

What’s all this nonsense about H street being dead?

Build a multi-modal infrastructure project in an underserved community? Hard!

Full house community DC streetcar panel discussion last night facilitated by us.

Consistent theme of the night from Allen and DDOT was that “streetcar is still in the budget” — but we know that it’s been in the budget since 2018 and still hasn’t happened anyway.

When will the broken promises end?
