He most recently contributed to the Getting Around column at Curbed/New York Magazine, where he dove into why Amtrak&#8217;s failing power grid and why it costs the MTA $100 million to put elevators into stations. He spent six years at The New York Post focused on government agencies, including transportation. His stories prompted the MTA to redesign parts of the Second Avenue Subway&#8217;s East Harlem extension and helped uncover the LIRR overtime scandal. He has also worked at the New York Daily News, Austin American-Statesman and San Antonio Express-News. He joined Streetsblog in January 2025.</div>
