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

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

We need to reshape the transit spending landscape to have exactly that same structural feature money goes in —> ridership comes out. It shouldn’t be a makework jobs program or an architectural showcase. Invest in “good enough” infrastructure that’s useful! — PolitiTweet.org
