It's finally happening, there's a date for the launch of Amtrak's new Acela!
August 28th, but there's no details on which departure because I'm pretty sure it can't be all trains.

Affordable, accessible public transit allows everyone to participate fully in their communities. Great to join colleagues from across the country at the National Association of Counties conference in discussing how local and state governments can support the vital role transit plays in our lives.

The other day, I was telling friends and family how a housewife originated these Tokyo Metro transfer and exit guides, and they thought I was kidding. It used to be a well-known story. If you don't know it, here's a quick summary.

On Monday, I'm going to talk with urbanist Alon Levy about his plan to build high-speed rail in the US Northeast for a reasonable amount of money -- and about the difficulty of building big things in the US.
Got any questions?

I’ve come to the conclusion that the best case scenario is to have nearby neighbor volunteers “adopt” a seed dispersal station.
If you live in Philadelphia and are willing to adopt a station, which involves checking it every day and refilling with seed packs (that I will provide), lmk.
