Increased bicyle infrastructure doesn’t just favor the high-end cyclist; “things that make bike commutes appeal to rich and middle-class workers also seem to make them appeal to poor workers”
(People For Bikes)

Taxing Corporate Buses
A step in the right direction, but perhaps $1 is too small ” to stop the protests or quell the animosity fueled by the sleek private buses.”
(SF Gate)

California Leads in Driver Safety
“California ranks among the top 10 states nationally in a new study of motorist safety laws.”

Ford Rethinking the Role of Cars
Could cheaper cars be the answer to encouraging more young drivers to buy or is urban expansion changing the game entirely?

The Infra Blog offers cutting edge perspective on a broad spectrum of Infra topics. Frequent updates and provocative posts highlight hot button topics -- essential ingredients of a national Infra dialogue.


Dear Friends,

 

It is encouraging to finally see clear signs of federal action to support a comprehensive US infrastructure investment plan.

 

Now more than ever, our advocacy is needed to keep stakeholders informed and connected, and to hold politicians to their promises to finally fix our nation’s ailing infrastructure.

 

We have already engaged nearly 280,000 users, and hoping to add many more as interest continues to grow.

 

We require your support in order to rise to this occasion, to make the most of this opportunity. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to InfrastructureUSA.org.
