"We were considering multiple forms of capital when we started. It just felt like the opportunity is so large that venture capital gives us the opportunity to take those risks upfront and have the possibility to generate an outsized return."

Assembly Member Jessica Gonzalez-Rojas highlighted the urgent need for accessibility upgrades at four 7 train stations in Queens, emphasizing that decades after the ADA was enacted, many stations remain inaccessible to those with mobility challenges.

Irish Rail took in more than €15m in parking fees from motorists, while also clamping nearly 4,300 cars at its stations over the last two years.

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.

"Is everybody telling the truth? We're not sure," Program Director Kim Comstock told the San Mateo County Transportation Authority on Thursday.

The windows are so dark now, I can't see anything inside. No more eye contact. No more silent acknowledgment that I exist.

Senate Bill 1167 has received the most favorable press, based on the understanding that the e-bike problem is actually an e-moto problem. The ruckus and ER visits are not caused by pedal-assist class 1 and 3 e-bikes, but by throttle devices that often fail to cut off at 20 mph, leading to safety concerns.

The event will take place alongside Transpotec Logitec, bringing together passenger and freight transport stakeholders within the same exhibition venue, enhancing collaboration and innovation in the transport sector.

For more than a decade, autonomous buses have been "almost ready." Demonstrations with safety drivers began around 2015, and ten years later, this is still largely what we see. The reason is not a lack of ambition - it is physics, safety, and economics. Autonomous buses on city streets are inherently difficult. They carry dozens of passengers, operate as heavy vehicles, and move through a chaotic urban environment.

It's tempting to frame autonomous driving as a single leap. In public transport, adoption tends to be incremental - because the system is built for reliability, and new capabilities have to fit into daily operations without disrupting service. That is why a practical strategy is evolution, not revolution: introduce autonomy in a defined domain, learn safely in real operations, and expand capability step-by-step.

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.
