"Fatality trends between 2011 and 2021 point to one consistent trend: there is an evident correlation between states and cities with high car dependency and those with highest per capita fatality rates." @Anusha_Chitturi & Glendedora Dolce enotrans.org/article/why-us-… #RoadSafety

"Between 1990 and 2017, Spain reduced road traffic fatalities by 80%, Sweden by 67%, and the Netherlands by 55%. All of them have focused on reducing speeds and prioritizing the safety of vulnerable road users by redesigning and reengineering their roads." enotrans.org/article/state-a…

My @BrookingsMetro colleagues have ideas about how federal, state & local govts can get the most out of the big increase in federal instructure spending -- $1.25 trillion in transportation, energy, water, and broadband sectors over the next decade. brookings.edu/research/the-s…

FTA is set to issue a scathing report finding the T's focus on long-term projects came at the expense of safety, leaving the agency with too few workers, too little training, & weak safeguards, according to a copy obtained by the Globe.
Story will update.

I had the opportunity to study free public transit in depth for an economics project at HEC. Although my colleagues and I were initially favourably biased towards free transit, our study led us to conclude against it. Here's why (thread)

The new #IPCC report on mitigation of climate change is not easy reading. At the report launch, the UN Sec Gen called it "a file of shame" and "a litany of broken promises". But here are a few things I find useful and hopeful, particularly from an Indian perspective... (1/5)

Our paper just got published in Science. We estimate about 3 million Covid deaths in India until mid-2021, many times higher than the official count.

UPDATE on the federal e-bike tax credit:
Congress' new reconciliation language DOES include the e-bike tax credit -- and it's back up to 30% of the e-bike's cost (the House had previously cut it to 15%).

Public officials could powerfully improve urban lives by emphasizing **access** (easily reachable destinations) instead of **speed** (fast roads + rail).
A 🧵 about this new-ish book (2019), which explains why -- and how.

Interesting pitch (by email) for a @ridewithvia microtransit "master class." They promise to teach us how to do microtransit without "hurting pre-existing transit modes." 1/

If you stop and ask them, few people want the "smart city" that tech co's offer:
"Far from the image of a highly technological city, [urban residents / leaders] envision a city dedicated to improving the quality of life and environmental sustainability."

Remember the migrant workers?
Those people that many journalists discovered after March 2020, covered them for two months and then forgot about them the moment the story stopped being sexy.
More than a year after the exodus, how are they surviving in the villages?

The WHO just updated its page on how COVID-19 transmits. Those few sentences on aerosols represent one of the most crucial scientific advances of the pandemic. My NYT piece on the century-long history of the error, the year of delay—and what it means now. nytimes.com/2021/05/07/opini…
