Like potholes? Last year LA stopped repaving streets. In new research the Data/Dev team finds by 2036 under the City's current approach a majority of LA streets will be failed and we will have more than $15 billion in outstanding street maintenance. https://data.streetsforall.org/blog/repaving/

We are proud to support #SB1411, which allows more spending on CA High-Speed Rail outside the Central Valley. The Draft Business Plan, along with @streetsforall.org's EIFD report, outline a path to bringing high-speed trains to SF and LA in the next decade. SB 1411 makes the groundwork possible.

So excited to release this research we've been cooking on for the last 6 months! And huge shout out to @joeyshoyer-yall.bsky.social who led much of the technical analysis. Going to share a couple interesting findings below
