Car buyers will now be allowed write off up to $10,000/ year in interest paid on qualifying auto loans
Car drivers can still get over $3,500 in parking tax benefits too
But, bike commuters got their $240/year benefit cut
It's not about the budget, it's a preference & subsidy for people who drive

Ugh. The megabill permanently killed commuter benefits for people who bike to work.

This is about to happen in Oregon. After two years of work advancing a "Safety First" agenda for a state transportation package, highway megaprojects are going to suck up all the dollars and leave peanuts for safety.

Someone tell ODOT urban mobility folks that closing sidewalks and crosswalks 'for safety' is actually only a practice in hostility against people walking
The RIT researchers found that following enforcement of pedestrian control, walkers’ compliance with the rules rose – but the safety record did not improve. Enforced pedestrian control did not make walking safer.

Reminder that Gavin Newsom is the son of one of California's wealthiest families and this is cultural hegemony of the Oligarch class being forced on The People
If you care about traffic — if you care about not being late to work, coming home to your kids, and saving your time — you have to care about GenAI.
GenAI has come to traffic management, and this cutting-edge tool will help the state better serve all Californians.

That means no more mortgages or new real estate devt, no long-term investment, no financial stability. The financial sector as we know it ceases to function and capitalism ceases to be viable.”
