Public Transportation in Crisis in Oculus



Public Transportation in Crisis, Oculus, Summer 2020. 


“I can imagine no shortage of scenarios,” says Transportation Alternative director Danny Harris of the hopes for a change in priorities. “The reality is that we have this administration and any administration that would come next. We should wish to have a high-speed rail network like Japan, Germany, Switzerland, or France, and a bike network like the Netherlands or Denmark. We should wish to have active and vibrant public space as they do throughout southern Europe. But all that requires the political will and the vision that those things are not whimsy, they’re not partisan. When you build them, they create more vibrant and connected regional economies.”
