The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog USA.

Today’s newsletter brings our first cross-published article from this year’s Vision Zero Cities Journal, released as part of Transportation Alternatives’ 2025 Vision Zero Cities conference, which will take place October 28-30 in New York City.

Max Markham, the executive director of the Policing Project, writes about the criminalization of minor traffic offenses, which have long wrought havoc among Black and Brown and immigrant communities through discriminatory stops. But as due process erodes under a Trump government, the time is here to address the longstanding effects of these policies and protect families from cruel and inhumane separation — while also improving relationships between police and the communities they serve.

Plus: A write-up of a new report that shows how EV infrastructure is far more valuable to the nation’s prosperity and jobs market than the White House believes.

All that (and today’s headlines) can be read below:
