The Transport Politic

Founder and writer of The Transport Politic.

This website was created in October 2008 and tracks the state of transit in the U.S. and around the world. The site’s goal is to explore the intricate relationships between transportation projects and politics, both at the national and local levels.

Thanks to work on the site, Yonah Freemark has been interviewed for articles in The Wall Street Journal, The Dallas Morning News, Miller-McCune, CNN, Las Vegas Review-Journal, Politico, City Journal, Remapping Debate, National Review Online, and The Brooklyn Daily Eagle. In addition, he has been interviewed for radio by WUSF (I, II), KPBS, KCRW, WNYC, WNPR, and WBUR and online for the Infra Blog.

The Transport Politic was named one of Planetizen’s Top Ten sites for 2010. The associated @ttpolitic Twitter profile was named one of the Top 25 Transportation Sources to Follow in 2012 by the Urban Land Institute.
