Massive service cuts in Philadelphia yesterday and are just the beginning. Public schools start today and many students rely on SEPTA.

Unless state and local govt’s step up, we will see the same thing at many transit agencies in the US

The end of the interview features a dissection of some recent minivans ads targeted at women and connects them to ads from the 40s-60s. "Some things change, but some stay the same!"

Auto debt is in the news this week.

Blumenberg, Speroni, Siddiq and Wasserman have a great new article out about the geography of auto debt in California. They find "Black and Latino/a neighborhoods have more debt, debt burden, and delinquencies."

This article on "transit stigma" by Hazelton-Boyle and Wellman is really great. The authors interviewed transit administrators in the US and reveal several ways that policy elites perpetuate transit stigma in their words & actions.
