.@CarolineRGeorge & @AdieTomer find that from fall 2019 to fall 2022, metro-level travel data exposes two structural changes taking shape in real time: People have generally substituted longer commutes for shorter but more frequent trips to eat, shop, and run errands, but even with consistent drops in commuting, total miles traveled are trending in wildly different ways when comparing metro areas to one another. https://t.co/d5aZyjpbWJ

Harmful infrastructure has left communities of color #DividedByDesign. This report from @SmartGrowthUSA shows and tells the story--both past and present--while recommending steps to repair damage and prevent future harm.

It's great that SNAP online is now an option nationwide, but it's also necessary to think about ways that people with low-incomes, the unbanked, and those without technological literacy may face additional barriers

Brookings's latest report makes clear—Airports are under dire threat from the disastrous impacts of climate change and Congress must act. That’s why I'm working on a plan to fix it. We need resilient airports and we need a resilient aviation system. https://t.co/0wLNjJgqo2

.@klfarber: The @buffalobayou released a plan that will connect Houston’s Buffalo Bayou’s waterway’s eastern and western edges, helping to bring investments, access, and growth to the long-neglected eastern area. Read more: https://t.co/qIJGjc4XlG

What a great conversation about housing and climate! I hope to have many more discussions on this topic so that we can better plan for a more resilient future.

How likely is your neighborhood to experience flooding, wildfires, or extreme heat? If you knew, how would you react? Local climate risk data is becoming more available – and it can inform better decisions. @AdieTomer @CarolineRGeorge @jwkane1 @j_gill1 https://t.co/t9hyMS5Ffj

Excited to release a new @BrookingsMetro report on the current state of the U.S. #infrastructure workforce, amid once-in-a-generation federal investment:

Join us in-person (or virtually!) for our event next Tuesday Sept 27 at 2 ET on accelerating city #climate planning and action amid historic federal investment.

It should be a timely discussion building off new @BrookingsMetro @PolicyInnovate research.

The pace and quality at which folks are able to do these legislative emissions analyses is truly incredible. Now, let's formalize the process as part of standard bill scoring, as CBO does for budgetary impacts. https://t.co/CBgL6qxaFa

[Zahra Hirji @Zhirji28]

A week after Senators Schumer and Manchin stunned the world by announcing they’d finally struck a deal on a climate, energy and health package, the implications for greenhouse gas emissions are starting to come into view. Here's what 3 analyses tell us: https://t.co/ZznVYJHQDb

[Dr Charlie Gardner (also on the blue place) @CharlieJGardner]

There is so much written about what governments must do to tackle climate breakdown

Yet so little serious analysis of to how to make them do it

In today's On Tech: There are many problems with apps that deliver fresh and prepared food.

One thing that's good, according to a new Brookings analysis: Delivery apps have expanded fresh food access for millions of Americans who live in "food deserts." https://t.co/h95IQ7i1Dx

[Adie Tomer @AdieTomer]

Digital delivery changed the food industry over the past two years, but could this emerging model address food access for those most in need? @CarolineGeorge and I got our hands on new data to definitively answer ‘yes’. 🧵 re: our new research. https://t.co/psOFngyiSm
