This week at Mondays at The Overhead Wire, we're joined by Streetsblog USA's Kea Wilson to chat about the new USDOT directives from the Trump administration. We talk about rescinded memos, funding memos, and Kea thinks Jeff might be trying to hard to find logic in the reasoning for using birth and marriage rates to steer transportation funding.
Below are items we chatted about on the show....
Donald Shoup was about more than just parking - CPDR
Unflooding the zone - T4America
Why DOT is promising more money for higher birthrates - Streetsblog USA
Rescinding DOT policy Memo - USDOT
Weird funding mechanisms and edicts Memo - USDOT
