Streetsblog USA’s Wednesday roundup points to a pivotal U.S. election for transit and safety, with advocates watching key midterm races and local referendums. The roundup also notes a new plan to build political influence among bus riders.
Other stories highlighted ask whether Washington, D.C., should consider platform screen doors, which are used across leading transit networks around the world. A separate piece examines whether the convergence of Halloween celebrations and the seasonal clock change created unusually dangerous road conditions, and whether ending the time change would have prevented pedestrian and cyclist deaths.
