Check out article where I talk about preparing for the #FIFAWorldCup. Transit agencies can attract new riders and build public support for their services. At the same time, if they mess up, the whole world will know about it. @NJTPA intransitionmag.njtpa.org/ar…

New article by Elaine Chao (former US DOT secretary) about Trump's first term. Latest in @EnoTrans series about U.S. presidents and transportation innovation.
See article about LBJ. (It will bring a tear to your eye.)

When half the train riders aren't pay the fare, you can't ignore it. I talked with @SRodd_CPR, an investigative reporter in San Diego, about the problem and potential solutions.

The two most important books written on the political economy of New York remain @profplotch on the Tappan Zee and SAS. They offered intimate portraits of Cuomo operating, but also the dysfunction of NYS. Federalizing Gateway and allowing Byford to operate is a good decision.
