Stopping a highway project is never easy. It's even harder when the highway is in a city like Dallas. And yet this week, the Dallas City Council pulled the plug on the $1.7 billion Trinity Toll Road in a 13-2 vote. A key figure in the highway revolt is Council Member Angela Hunt.

A report from the NTSB is vindicating advocates' critique of an engineering standard that seeks to accommodate motorist behavior instead of designing streets for safety.

High school students haven’t gotten much attention as potential bike-share users, but they should.

We need your help to fill out the field of bus stops that will compete for nationwide ridicule (and with it, a kick in the pants for local streets and transit agencies who are responsible).

There are plenty of questions about whether this new bike-share business model, which is backed by Silicon Valley-style venture capital, will have legs. Will the companies be able to maintain safe bikes, provide good service, and stay financially viable in the long run? It’s too soon to say. But in the early going, they are proving that plenty of people will use bike-share in a city where it previously flopped, reports Tom Fucoloro at Seattle Bike Blog.

Florida is the most dangerous state in the nation for walking and biking. To save lives, the state DOT is planning to lower speed limits and redesign streets to encourage safer driving.

It's extra challenging to redesign a city street for safe walking and biking when that street is controlled by the state DOT. That's the case with Memorial Drive in Atlanta, a dangerous state road that runs more than five miles across the city.

The White House is trying to squash assessments of how transportation projects affect carbon pollution. NRDC, Clean Air Carolina, and U.S. PIRG are suing the administration to ensure these climate impacts are publicly disclosed.

Sometimes it’s astounding how rider-friendly transit service has become in other countries compared to America.

Automakers and tech companies are pushing a bill through Congress that would handcuff local governments' ability to regulate self-driving vehicles on city streets. Now city transportation officials are demanding a role in drafting legislation before it's too late.
