This is why I think a useful reset would be to create clearer and less equivocal criteria for evaluating grants — when a pot of money is being divided up, priority should go to proposals that generate large ridership/dollar. https://t.co/z0tRpu1oU0 — PolitiTweet.org

Of course when you actually are investing in new service you genuinely do need to build stations. But this same mentality carries over — useful projects are bundled with unnecessarily large and expensive station structures. https://t.co/TdQyAmckbl — PolitiTweet.org

Why focus on transit waste rather than overspending on highways? Well note that when urbanists complain about highway spending they’re normally conceding that the spending is effective at generating more driving — they just don’t like that goal. https://t.co/sxCCBX2WYh — PolitiTweet.org
