I really enjoyed talking with @HeidiSMitchell at the @WSJ about the future of travel. https://t.co/FVhwqYLGlE

Check out article where I talk about preparing for the #FIFAWorldCup. Transit agencies can attract new riders and build public support for their services. At the same time, if they mess up, the whole world will know about it. @NJTPA https://t.co/OgFrYIRGxl

@petemuntean Pete Muntean: Want to be on Eno Center for Transportation webinar panel about how the media covers transportation policies, programs, and major incidents??? [email protected]

[Philip Mark Plotch @profplotch]

When half the train riders aren't pay the fare, you can't ignore it. I talked with @SRodd_CPR, an investigative reporter in San Diego, about the problem and potential solutions.

A New Jersey non-profit, @NJSpotlightNews, does an outstanding job reporting on state public policy issues. Thanks to @johnreitmeyer for talking about the importance of stable financing for our transportation system. https://t.co/978LOwRXu3

Artists are offering real-time bus info in Philadelphia. No worries about bureaucracy, regulations, and politics. They just put up the signs for #SEPTA riders. Great job by bright young @WashingtonPost reporter, @angorellanah. https://t.co/omQMcDLrRb

Another great transit article by @JMartinezNYC @THECITYNY https://t.co/IHTTNO0VVn

[AX @A_XENOP]

The two most important books written on the political economy of New York remain @profplotch on the Tappan Zee and SAS. They offered intimate portraits of Cuomo operating, but also the dysfunction of NYS. Federalizing Gateway and allowing Byford to operate is a good decision.

I'm delighted to see something that I worked on come to fruition. And, I'm even more delighted for the residents of the Chicago region. https://t.co/OnVeGF89HT

Roughly $18 billion in New York City infrastructure projects have been put on hold to ensure funding is not flowing based on unconstitutional DEI principles. More info to come soon from @USDOT.

[PBS News @NewsHour]
