2026 Will be CRITICAL for America's Transit Future. Here's Why.

Описание: 2025 was a year of chaos in general, and no less so for public transport in the US. There were many more successes than some have led us to believe, but there were also plenty of chaotic changes and struggles to fight through to make our transportation system more suited for the country's needs. 2026 is shaping up to be more of the same, with critical transit projects being completed, more looking to find ways to get started, and even more struggles to be fought over simply the idea of improving mass transport in the first place in certain places. Let's get the year off on the best start, by laying out the projects that are being completed in 2026, and more of the struggles going on around them to take these successes to the next level.
