To Make Transit Work, We Need to Make Transit Agencies Better Workplaces

A bicycle rider coasts through an intersection in a bike lane next to two cars and a pickup truck waiting to turn left from the oncoming direction. In the foreground, a row of flexible-post bollards separates the bike lane from the car lanes. A group of pedestrians on the opposite corner waits to cross the street.

MassDOT Seeking Funds to Add More Frequent, Faster Worcester-Springfield Passenger Rail Service

A man and a woman in casual clothing hold signs next to a wide four-lane street. A grand Italianate-style library building with tall arched windows is in the background behind them on the other side of the street. The man holds a sign reading "keep kids safe: build the promised crossing" and the woman holds a sign reading "No more deaths! SLOW DOWN"

T Declares Victory Over Notorious ‘Tufts Curve’ Slow Zone On the Orange Line

A chart showing "total slow time" on the y axis (from 0 to 90 minutes) and months of the year on the x axis (from last August to this July) and three colored lines representing the three MBTA subway lines (red, orange, and blue). The blue line is near 0 along the x-axis until March, when it rises to 20 minutes, then follows a jagged, generally downward trend to around 5 minutes of slow time as of mid-July. The Orange line starts around 5 minutes, spikes to 40 minutes in late September '22 (immediately after a 30-day closure), dips to near 0 over the winter, then rises again to 20 in March, and remains near 15 as of mid-July. The red line starts near the orange line, then gradually trends upwards from 10 minutes in Sept. 2022 to 30 minutes by Feb. 2023. In March, the Red line begins to slope upward steeply, reaching 80 minutes in April and May. In June and July, the red line follows a jagged descent, hitting 50 minutes by mid-July.

A clump of carpetweed grows out of a sidewalk crack. The plant features small leaves that radiate like spokes from a fingernail-sized wheel out of a central stem, with 3-8 leaves to each node. The plant also features tiny greenish-white flowers with 5 petals.
