Transit

City Council members are speaking up about the runaway price tag of subway infrastructure in New York City, pressing the MTA to rein in capital construction costs that outstrip those of peer cities across the globe.

New research from UC Davis shows that cities must strengthen transit in response to the growth of ride-hailing services.

L.A. is becoming more compact, but its built environment is still more conducive to driving than to walking and transit.

Riders of Westchester County's "Bee Line" bus service are still waiting for bus tracking apps, but maybe not for long.

Every day, the streets of American cities are more clogged and polluted at rush hour because the federal government pays people to drive to work.

The NYC transit system is what connects residents to their city, but for many low-income New Yorkers, it simply costs too much to ride. Fordham political science professor Christina Greer thinks policy makers can help address that -- if they're willing to get creative.

It's been clear since Donald Trump was elected and Republicans hung on to majorities in Congress that federal transit funding is at risk. But a phone call to your representative could protect transit in the current round of budget negotiations.

Transit capacity across the Hudson is at a breaking point.

It makes perfect sense to provide bulk transit passes, which often lead to higher ridership. But these fare structures pose a problem for people who aren't in a position to scrape together the cash for a pass and pay for a whole month of transit rides one fare at a time. They may end up paying more than wealthier riders for the same amount of service, even though they can least afford it. Now Portland's transit agencies -- Trimet, C-Tran, and the city's streetcars -- are showing the way to a fairer system.
