US-born Latinos have a different cycling experience than foreign-born Latinos, according to Transfers magazine, which points out the alternate perceptions and finds the similarities in both groups’ social environments that can encourage cycling transport.

When you take cash out of the transit fare equation some people will get left behind, concluded a study out of Portland State University—finding that “all of the payment options that included cash fares increased transit access among residents in the case study cities.”

The loss of Greyhound in Canada will no doubt have rippling effects that’ll change how people move within and between less dense parts of the country, especially in disadvantaged rural and remotes areas, but women experiencing violence (and hoping to escape) might stand to lose the most from the shutdown.

Chicago ridehail users have probably, ahem, “noticed” the increased prices of late, often double and even triple of pre-pandemic levels. To address this, Downtown Chicago Alderman Brendan Reilly is proposing a fare cap on ridehail trips in the city, noting the “imbalanced regulation” between Lyft and Uber vs taxi cabs.

To adapt to low bus ridership and a reduced workforce, Sarasota County Area Transit will replace several fixed-route lines with new on-demand microtransit services powered by Via subsidiary River North Transit–it’s getting underway early next month.

If you’re looking for a new way to go from A to B, you’ll find peer-to-peer carsharing platform Eligo Cars launching in Canada and IIZI (pronounced like “easy”) jumping into the ridehail scene in North Carolina.

Connecting communities through safe, active transportation is not only the foundation of inclusive and healthy cities but the basis of sustainable, equitable transportation infrastructure that can help all people get to important amenities without a car.

LA Metro will take forgotten bikes (a staggering 400-500 left on Metro property) and redistribute them for free to anyone in need through a new Adopt-A-Bike program instead of the typical auction—providing reliable and safe travel on two wheels.

Micromobility has the potential to cut emissions by over 30 million tons and create nearly 1 million jobs in Europe, according to a new report from EIT InnoEnergy, but operators and cities will need to overcome lackluster vehicle lifespans, high operation costs, and weak public transit integration to hit those goals by 2030.

Luxembourg and Tallinn, Estonia were the first country and capital city in the EU to abolish transit fares, and now a wave of free public transit in French towns has sparked conversation on whether such transit-equity measures can be implemented in larger cities like Paris.

New Jersey Transit is aiming for a zero-emissions bus fleet by 2040—which necessitates ramping up EV charging upgrades around the state and preparing for Jersey’s first electric bus pilot in Camden starting later this year.

Over in New York, the MTA has upped its sustainable transit plans with the somewhat upcoming purchase of 60 new electric buses (15 more than proposed), which will bring the total to 85 EVs when it rolls out. A tiny, but meaningful, step towards the agency’s envisioned 5,800 EV buses by 2040.

EV infrastructure may help fight the pollution-spewing consequences of our transportation system, but if charging deserts remain prevalent across the US, electric vehicles will remain a niche market with little environmental impact.

Martha’s Vineyard, the popular Massachusetts island, will use solar power to generate electricity for its growing electric bus fleet (and we’re talking 700 Kw) and use a microgrid storage facility that can be independently operated during emergency cases and outages.

People with visual impairments can now get voice-guided directions and assistance just by scanning a QR code at select transit stations in trial cities worldwide thanks to a new tech partnership between transportation operator Keolis and NaviLens.

New York wants to put a warning label on SUVs (we completely support this for all cars) in an effort to establish a statewide vehicle safety rating based on a specific model’s collision reports for pedestrians and cyclists.

Cities that were torn into segregated pieces by highways may remove physical barriers by tearing down these multi-lane divides, but can sheer extraction ever replace what was lost, socially, culturally and economically? Learn how some metros want to revitalize this reclaimed land for communities in the New York Times.

Philadelphia saw a surge of pedestrian and cycle traffic after it closed off Martin Luther King Drive from cars, but now the city may revert back to the auto-oriented status quo with fewer spaces for people as travel behavior slowly returns back to normal.
