Harm reduction starts with helping people reduce the risks they face, even when they decline the treatment others would choose for them. Making that help conditional on accepting the government’s preferred treatment risks defeating its purpose. My latest. https://t.co/9fAro6B6e0 via @ReasonFdn

New York City’s congestion pricing program has reduced traffic and improved travel speeds. Policymakers should now tie tolls to traffic conditions, charge similar vehicles similar rates, and clearly show how they spend the revenue.

"If there were a widespread and persistent youth nicotine crisis, perhaps such drastic, but still misguided, action might be more understandable from policymakers. However, young people aren’t smoking as much as they used to." https://t.co/EMaJovxD7h via @ReasonFdn
New York City’s congestion pricing program shows that charging drivers can reduce congestion but toll rates should not be set by revenue goals for transit programs.

Improving transit performance depends less on building new infrastructure than on aligning service technology, operating models, network design, and roadway management with the way people travel today.

“Open enrollment gives families more choice and creates a path toward better public schools that attract students, respond more to parents, and focus on helping every student succeed.” — @JudeSchwalbach

The federal drug police want to turn consumers of certain concentrated kratom-derived products into criminals while leaving traditional kratom leaf products outside the ban. Before exposing adults to arrest and prosecution, the feds owe them a scientific explanation for that distinction. https://t.co/G2DiudAdRH via @reason
In many U.S. cities, a 20-minute car trip can take an hour or more by transit because routes are indirect, service is infrequent, or buses and trains are delayed by traffic.

"Before the drug police turn more consumers into criminals, they should at least demonstrate how doing so will make those consumers safer." My latest. https://t.co/mwEiAxECE2 via @reason
If the country can go this long without a confirmed Surgeon General while its health agencies continue operating, why do we need one? And why do we still maintain the roughly 6,000-member uniformed service the Surgeon General oversees?https://t.co/Q8bTKxEMDI via @ReasonFdn

Open enrollment gives families more choice and creates a path toward better public schools that attract students, respond more to parents and focus on helping every student succeed. This is a win for public schools and families. https://t.co/RLbqA72zfX
Transit agencies need to get more creative in how they serve transit-dependent riders and adapt to today’s work and travel patterns.
