Congress keeps pouring billions into a broken transportation system—and people are paying the price. Find out how you can call on Congress to demand more accountability and outcomes in the upcoming transportation reauthorization ⤵️ t4america.org/2025/10/29/t...

California’s SB 79 sets new housing standards near major transit. The law allows for multifamily development within a half mile of transit stations, overriding restrictive local zoning limits. Learn more 👇 www.smartgrowthamerica.org/knowledge-ce...

Beth Osborne's transition to SGA's President & CEO was highlighted in Mass Transit magazine alongside other leaders in the transit industry 👏 @bethosborne.bsky.social Check it out ⤵️ www.masstransitmag.com/management/n...

How we invest our infrastructure dollars shapes not just travel behavior but entire economies. A new report from @goodjobsfirst.org finds that every dollar spent on repair creates more jobs than new construction. See more in this post from @innovativedot.bsky.social 👇 ssti.us/2025/10/21/r...

@bethosborne.bsky.social emphasized her top priorities [for reauthorization] are a “fix-it-first” approach and a system that requires measurable safety improvements and holds everyone accountable for results. “We want massive changes or a rollback of the program.” enotrans.org/article/advo...

Ever wonder how our highways, transit, and rail systems got to be the way they are—and how we can make them better? Introducing Roadmaps and Roadblocks, a new video series from T4A and the Funders Network. Learn more ➡️ www.fundersnetwork.org/mobility-acc...

The administration froze $18 billion in USDOT funding for major transit and rail projects, continuing a pattern of canceling congressionally authorized spending and blocking funds for political reasons. Find out more 👇 t4america.org/2025/10/02/u...

Many states set safety targets that are not grounded in reality or are even worse than the status quo. The next surface transportation reauthorization can enforce measurable safety improvements and hold states and MPOs accountable. Learn more👇 t4america.org/2025/10/08/h...

Previous delays, grant cancellations, and staffing cuts have already weakened USDOT's ability to deliver on federal transportation programs. Here's how the government shutdown further impacts these programs 👇 t4america.org/2025/10/01/h...

@corrigansalerno.bsky.social, T4A policy manager, said the Trump administration may have intentionally run out the clock on the grants. “By leaving them in the lurch like this, they knew this would result in the funding no longer being [the administration’s] problem.” www.eenews.net/articles/ev-...

States and metro areas are required to assemble multi-year plans detailing how they'll spend billions in federal funding. But these public plans are often hard to decipher and fail to advance safety in meaningful ways. Find out how this can change 👇 t4america.org/2025/09/24/r...

Passenger rail in the U.S. is gaining momentum, but a severe shortage of trains threatens to stall progress. A National Equipment Pool would standardize procurement, cut costs, and ensure operators have the trains they need to expand service. See more👇 t4america.org/2025/09/24/w...

We signed a letter alongside 44 other organizations demanding that Congress protect the infrastructure funding it has already allocated that are being clawed back for being too "green," "equitable," or "hostile to cars." usa.streetsblog.org/2025/09/25/e...

It appears that USDOT is trying to run out the clock for FY22 grants it does not like and cancel competitive grants awarded to localities and communities across the country. Find out more👇 t4america.org/2025/09/17/g...

“Based on 41 years of my experience at Amtrak, I don’t think I’ve been part of a more outstanding start of service.” -Mike Jerew, Sr., manager of state-supported services. www.trains.com/pro/passenge...

Current road design standards prioritize speed over safety. See how federal guidance falls short and what ideas we have to improve these measures to actually put safety at the forefront of our design practices 👇 t4america.org/2025/09/10/t...

Millions in federal funding for community projects are potentially at risk because of USDOT’s failure to finalize grant agreements. If this promised funding isn’t obligated by Sept. 30, 2025, folks may never see these hard-earned dollars. Read more 👇 t4america.org/2025/09/10/u...

Passenger rail is back on the Gulf Coast! Our team played a critical role in shaping the federal programs that made this service possible. Our new video shows us joined by community members and other elected officials on the inaugural ride!👇 youtu.be/ocmYcriB7jM?...

Despite safety being a national goal, crash data fails to capture the full scope of injuries, infrastructure conditions, or who is most at risk. In order to seriously improve safety on our roads, we need to standardize this data. See more 👇 t4america.org/2025/08/25/i...

People deserve the freedom to travel without a car. Other countries have successfully incentivized commuting and travel options, a strategy that cities across the U.S. can learn from. Read more 👇 t4america.org/2025/08/15/i...

A proposal that gives state DOTs more “flexibility” in spending federal dollars will likely lead to bad policy and more highways. Legislation like this often gives states permission to continue spending money on a failing transportation system. See more👇 t4america.org/2025/08/21/a...

Thanks in part to @t4america.bsky.social's work since 2013, a coalition of local and state leaders successfully restored passenger rail service on the Gulf Coast. Learn more about what it took to get this done here... t4america.org/resource/t4a...

Our policy proposals for the next surface transportation reauthorization aim to pull the federal transportation program out of the 1960s and into the 21st century. That means updating outdated practices & standards for a faster, more effective approach 👇 t4america.org/2025/07/23/d...

Commentary: Getting America’s passenger rail back on track requires a radically different approach | @t4america.bsky.social – t4america.org/2025/07/23/g...

Despite promises to speed up project delivery, our new analysis finds that safety grant funds are being obligated at just ten percent the rate of the previous administration. New, politicized review requirements are the likely culprit. Find out more👇 t4america.org/2025/07/09/n...

Now that we've all had a little time to dig through this megabill, @yonahfreemark.com + @t4america.bsky.social + a lot of other smart people helped me pick through some the policies that will most directly (and, to be frank, negatively) impact our transportation outlook.

We need transit that works everywhere, including rural places. Our most recent Rethinking reauthorization post explains how our new policy proposals help policymakers prioritize investing in mobility not just for big cities, but small towns 👇 t4america.org/2025/07/09/t...

🚨 Up to $4.7 billion in transportation grants awarded to grantees across the country will be rescinded following the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. See our break down of how this impacts communities everywhere👇 t4america.org/2025/07/08/c...
