By Darryl C. Murphy Philly transportation advocates are celebrating President-elect Joe Biden’s pick for Deputy Transportation Secretary. Biden’s nominee, former New York City Department of Transportation Commissioner Polly Trottenberg, “will bring a city-perspective to federal policymaking because through her experience [in NYC], she understands what cities need from the federal government,” said Sarah Clark Stuart, executive director of the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Phil

Drivers Are Still Top Polluters, Even During Quarantine - Streetsblog

Not even months of quarantine orders that confined millions of Americans to their homes were enough to unseat transportation as the leading source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States — and cars are the biggest polluters in the sector, a new study finds. According to preliminary estimates from the Rhodium Group, transportation-related emissions were still the United States’ single biggest driver of climate change in 2020, despite historic drops in vehicle miles tr

SEPTA expects to avoid layoffs, service cuts for now as D.C. promises $252M in COVID relief

By PlanPhilly SEPTA officials expect to soon breathe a little easier with an estimated $252 million in additional federal relief funds coming to the beleaguered transit agency. The money comes from a federal COVID-19 relief package passed in December that included $14 billion for mass transit agencies.
