The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog USA. Other websites across the World Wide Web are down thanks to an ill-timed Cloudflare outage… but Streetsblog is still going strong! So while you wait for that fix, why not read today’s news from the livable streets movement? First, a dispatch from Streetsblog NYC’s Sophia Lebowitz, who dug into a new report by the city’s comptroller about double-digit-percent increases in injury-causing traffic crashes near new last-mile warehouses in industrial neighborhoods. Then there’s analysis from Kea Wilson about the White House’s push for Congress to eliminate billions in federal transit money that serves as the backbone of transportation systems across America. And experts warn that it will hit red states the hardest without even accomplishing the administration’s stated goal of stabilizing highway funding and give drivers’ their “fair share.” Check out all that and more on our functional (for now) website by clicking the links below: Report: Traffic Injuries Increase Near Amazon Last-Mile Warehouses by Sophia Lebowitz November 18, 2025 Injuries are increasing near last-mile warehouses and advocates want to change the model for more accountability.
