My first story for
@CityLab, on an ambitious chef who's trying to solve the problem of cooking lunch in public schools.

Great piece on why the near-collapse of mass transit in the United States wasn't inevitable. When service improves, ridership goes up. Seems like that *should* be obvious, and yet... https://www.citylab.com/transportation/2018/08/how-america-killed-transit/568825/ … by

As much as Torontonians like to complain about the state of transit, they sure have it good (by North American standards)!https://twitter.com/mslaurabliss/status/1035570640252821505 …

Excellent thread by Laura Bliss & excellent article by John English. (More thorough treatment of the racist ethos that drove suburbanization & highway building is available elsewhere.)

West Coast organizing groups are "rallying tech workers to mitigate the hostile effects of their own industries on the cities they occupy, and urging them to forge local connections." From

This thread (and great piece)! Just would quickly add: so much is about land use, most locally controlled. It's about far more than transit or highway investment. And here, too, Toronto did better than southern peers.

The outlook seems dire when
@FTA_DOT refuses to disburse funds and oil titans actively fight local transit referenda. Lesson from@englishrail's history is simple, though not easy: to draw riders and revenue, build service that is actually good.

Vehicles are the #1 source of CO2 emissions in the U.S. Car dependence is a huge life barrier if you don't drive. Poor Columbus. "Full service transit" is not a thing there. This is a factor in a huge local health crisis: infant mortality.

The story of transit in America wasn't inevitable. Toronto is a nearby example of why not. As it sprawled out, instead of relying on 1970s-style park-and-ride commuter rail systems that often fail to draw riders, it also provided frequent bus service to all of its new suburbs.pic.twitter.com/E4lYpZhDL6
