"If lane expansion were going to solve congestion anywhere, it would have solved it here. Instead, Texas ranks near the bottom of U.S. states in measures of urban congestion." Great article by Ryan Puzycki on why TX needs a new approach to transportation! www.ryanpuzycki.com/p/when-just-...

Congratulations NJ! 🎉 “Between concerns about induced demand, climate impact, and traffic impacts on the Jersey City and Hoboken communities, I have long opposed the Turnpike expansion as previously proposed,” said State Sen. Raj Mukherji, D-Hudson" www.nj.com/news/2025/12...

Check out this cool new graphic about the billions lost to the Austin economy due to its urban highways! www.thehumanecosystem.city/portfolio-1/... Great work from @thehumaneconomist.bsky.social!

"Approximately 18 % of urban and suburban US residents express a strong interest in living car-free." Note that this is unmet demand, meaning not including people who are already living car free. Let's give people choices! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

In addition to all of the other benefits already reported about NYC congestion pricing, "In the first six months of the program, air pollution – in the form of particulate matter 2.5 micrometers and smaller – dropped by 22% in the Congestion Relief Zone (CRZ)" news.cornell.edu/stories/2025...

Last week was special. So many folks to thank for Life After Cars in Austin — starting with everyone in these photos — but also our partners: @aura-atx.org @rethink35.org @bookpeople.com A place is special because people work hard to make it that way, and these folks keep Austin a cut above.

We're delighted to see access measures feature prominently in this new report on urban mobility! Sadly, the only kind of access measured in the report is access by car (1/3 of Americans don't drive). Hopefully the next version includes access measures for all modes! mobility.tamu.edu/umr/report/

“How can you go somewhere and not have it be just you getting into a car?" says the director of Tyler's MPO who is looking at bringing light rail to Tyler, TX. We'd love to see CAMPO leadership thinking in this forward-looking way! www.texastribune.org/2025/09/23/t...

Just a reminder that Florida spent 2.5 billion on widening an already gargantuan interchange in downtown Orlando called “the I-4 Ultimate”. It still regularly backs up with traffic.

Unsurprising but very sad to learn that fewer and fewer kids are riding bikes. A transportation system that prioritizes cars above all other modes robs kids of the mobility and independence they deserve. www.theatlantic.com/family/archi...

The so-called "highway trust fund" is disproportionately funded by gas taxes generated on non-highway roads — and those local priorities never get their money back. Is it time for a change?

Join us for the final event in our Highways and Displacement series this Saturday 5/31 at 12!

I-35 has once again been named a "freeway without a future." 👎 TxDOT's monumental expansion of the highway would entrench car dependency, lock in carbon emissions, and worsen our already unhealthy air for generations to come. That's why we are continuing to fight it through litigation.

Reminder! The second panel in our series on Highways and Displacement is Saturday from 10-12 at Cepeda Library! actionnetwork.org/events/join-...

Lots going on this Saturday! After our panel on highways and displacement from 10-12 at Cepeda Library, join us at Kinda Tropical down the road to write letters to protect transit in Austin and across Texas from bills at the legislature! @safestreetsaustin.bsky.social @aura-atx.org
