I've been saying it from the start: 's most enduring impact on transportation will be how it's changed the practice of street design and transportation planning.
Street-level programs will come and go. But the transportation profession wil never be the same again.

Public comment period is open for NC's 2026-2035 STIP (State Improvement Program).

: what are your favorite tools for visualizing new and designs?

If you wanted to communicate how a proposed intersection or roadway redesign would look and feel to the public, what would you use?
I'm looking specifically for examples of tools that are fairly easy to use by non-experts and can create realistic renderings suitable for engagement.

Thank you!

My team is going to be conducting field at busy intersections and we need to be able to show short videos on a . Surely there are some wizards out here who've done similar and can recommend sturdy, super-bright, low-cost tablets that'll get the job done?

Don’t be fooled by “ ”

What it is: a measure of how much a transport facility or service is used.
What it isn't: a measure of what kinds of transport facilities & services people actuallywant/need/demand(!) in order to live their lives safely, affordably, sustainably, with dignity.

Most people never get the chance to "demand" transportation. They only get to use what’s been given to them, regardless of whether it works for them.
