US DOT is proposing a federal rule change to give more transit money to places with higher marriage & birth rates www.federalregister.gov/documents/20... Such a rule would direct money to places with more driving, more homeowners, more white people, & wealthier people www.urban.org/urban-wire/d...
The proposed rule would increase federal transit grant funding by up to 10% points if they have high birth and marriage rates.Giving more money to places with high marriage and birth rates would disproportionately benefit white and high-income areas.Communities with less car access would be penalized if the US DOT prioritizes marriage and birth rates.

Let books be. Today kicks off #BannedBooksWeek, an annual observation started more than 40 years ago in response to a sudden surge in attempts to censor or remove books in libraries, schools, and bookstores. Sound familiar? Find ways to get involved and spread the word: bit.ly/4yvixbB.
LET BOOKS BE. Various line drawings related to libraries and books, including a hand holding a sign made of an open book that reads "Freed for ALL to Read," a tote bag that reads "Totes Resist" carrying a book, a full book cart with the head and tale of a horse with text that reads "A Wild Ride," and a closeup of two feet standing on a stack of books that say "A Soap Box" on their spines. Text at bottom reads "Protect the freedom to read. Banned Books Week, October 4-10, 2026." American Library Association. ala.org/bbooks

The new Commanders Stadium would have "the largest parking garage ever built in DC history, with 3,600 parking spaces at nine stories high.” Residents are rightly outraged for what is way, way too much parking for a dense urban neighborhood. 3,600 spots is not "transit first." #washingtondc

There have been recent changes at and around the new RFK Stadium Site. Due to ongoing construction, a temporary U-turn lane has been installed, connecting WB traffic from C St directly to Independence Ave SE. Be aware of traffic signal adjustments, as more closures are planned.
