What’s Wrong With SAFETEA-LU — and Why the Next Bill Must Be Better
Editor’s note: This year’s reauthorization of the federal
transportation funding bill will be one of the most important
opportunities in history for the nation’s advocates of livable streets,
sustainable transportation and smart growth. But it’s going to be a
complicated process. We’d like to demystify it for you, and to that end
we’ll be featuring regular posts from Yonah Freemark, an independent researcher currently working in
France on comparative urban development as part of a Gordon Grand
Fellowship from Yale University. He is also the author of Streetsblog Network member blog The Transport Politic.
