Next City’s transportation reporting focuses on solutions that make it easier, safer and more affordable to get around in cities. Storylines that fall under this beat include: safe streets; fare-free public transit; the expansion of public transit systems new and old; transit-oriented development (and who benefits); the preservation of legacy public transit systems increasingly under duress; equitable access to new modes of transit such as bike-sharing and scooters; expansion of micromobility and other transportation infrastructure; the electrification of vehicular and bus transportation; transportation planning processes and who participates in them; innovative ways to finance public transit expansion and operations; and more.
