The mortgage industry must shift focus from speed to helping borrowers navigate complex financial decisions.
"It's been in continuous disrepair and derelict circumstances. There were reported firearms, individuals walking out onto the street with assault rifles, drug paraphernalia that you can even find today, a lot of drug use."
Being named to the Washington State DES contract is a significant milestone for ENC and a testament to the strength of our product portfolio. This contract gives transit agencies across the region a streamlined path to American-made, Altoona-tested heavy-duty buses in every major propulsion category.
Since the city removed one vehicle traffic lane in each direction in favor of a parking-protected bike lane between Calyer Street and Meeker Avenue in 2024, the boulevard has seen more cyclists, fewer vehicles and slightly-slower travel times.
We already pay the bulk of the TriMet operating budget through (mostly employment) taxes (49%), federal operating grants (13%), state and local revenue (8%). That's a total of 70% that everybody has already paid—even folks who aren't passengers. Passenger revenue only covers 6% of the TriMet budget.
The new guidelines released in February suggest that any member of the Advisory Committee for Transit Accessibility "employed by, or affiliated with, an organization that has filed a legal action against the MTA or its subsidiaries and affiliates" can be removed if the MTA determines that affiliation constitutes a conflict of interest.

The new "abundance" agenda can deliver a wealth of equitable transportation options - but only if its proponents recognize how our glut of highways has contributed to the "scarcity" they say they hope to tackle, advocates are saying.Inspired by the Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson's book of the same name, "abundance" became a political buzzword across America in 2025, inspiring a universe of think-pieces and justification for a raft of deregulatory policy proposals.
Residents of East Harlem's El Barrio have waited 80+ years for the Second Avenue Subway. The Trump administration could force them to wait even longer as it withholds federal funding for regional infrastructure projects over an alleged naming issue, no less. It's outrageous, it's unfair, and the MTA backed by Governor Hochul won't stand for it. We're at a pivotal moment for the project sixth months after awarding our largest-ever tunneling contract back in August.
Every city contains two transportation systems. One is the visible network of roads, rail lines, sidewalks, and bus routes mapped in planning documents. The other is the invisible geography of privilege and exclusion embedded within it: the neighborhoods that received highways instead of parks, the communities whose bus routes were cut, the sidewalks that abruptly end at the edge of a district.
