https://lnkd.in/gJkpmKg7 The Parties vs The People is one reason we don't have High-Speed Rail in the US. Another is misplaced spending priorities. A final is the Koch Brothers exposed. Let's take the first one. The Political Parties are more interested in "playing King of the Mountain" than doing what their constituents want. That would explain the single digit approval ratings. The Democrats have championed the framework of High-Speed Rail projects under the Obama Administration. This became the number one target of the Republicans as it was deemed the ultimate example of government waste. #highspeedrail #civilengineering #transportationplanning #trafficengineering

How can we encourage more cooperation among the Generations ("Me" '46-64; "X" '64-'82; and "Millennial" '82-'00) at work? I'm of the "X" Generation sandwiched. between the "Me"and "Millennial". I feel like the "Me" Generation took away our jobs, and "kicked the can down the rumbling and pothole ridden road". Specifically when the "Me" Generation retired from Caltrans, their positions were eliminated making it next to impossible for my "X" Generation to even get on board. The "Millennials" want a state-of-the-art High-Speed Rail System claiming, "This is our turn. This is our system. Previous Generations have given you the transportation systems that. you enjoy. It's your turn to give to our Generation. We'll pay for it. Just get it up and running. This defines how we will access our employment and vacation destinations. As an "X" Generation, I want to do everything I can, through the times of poverty and prosperity, to give the "Millennials" the state-of-the-art High-Speed Rail System that they want without blaming the "Me" Generation. I want to model delivering state-of-the-art infrastructure to the "Millennials". Hopefully my "X" Generation will. get to enjoy it too. #highspeedrail www.ushsr.com

It is time for politicians to recognize that the ONLY way to combat climate change while addressing our other critical transportation issues is by shifting modes away from automobiles. The best way to achieve that shift is to institute congestion pricing while pouring the funds obtained into world-class transit infrastructure. This 11th-hour shift is sad as NYC was finally ready to try a real solution to transportation problems. I weep for the city and for us all. https://lnkd.in/g9PPrs9j
