William Lind: A Conservative Voice For Public Transportation

Posted by Infra on Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

“At the 2009 Rail-Volution conference in Boston, Streetfilms was able to grab a few moments with the political conservative, transit advocate, William Lind. Lind aims to provide “liberal transit advocates” the language to build bipartisan support for public transportation (okay, just rail) in terms that conservatives can relate to. Some of Lind’s arguments don’t reflect our views here at Streetfilms, especially his disdain for buses (which we don’t cover in this video), but he makes a thought-provoking case for transit investment…”

Posted by Infra on Thursday, October 8th, 2009

“Chalk up more bikeway innovation to the folks at the NYC Department of Transportation. Now nearly complete, the Sands Street approach to the Manhattan Bridge is now safer and more enjoyable thanks to a first-of-its-kind in NYC: a center-median, two-way, protected bike path. Frankly, the facility is a perfect solution to counter the dangers posed by a tangle of roads and highway on-ramps that burden the area. Dramatic before and afters tell the delicious story…”

The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (“LACMTA”) and CALSTART are creating an implementation plan for the development of a folding bike subsidy program.

This program will leverage the success, knowledge, and experience that CALSTART acquired in working with LACMTA on a similar project, MyGo-Pasadena, which subsidized the use of electric bicycles in lieu of single occupancy vehicles…
