No more delays for transit

For years, delaying vehicles at intersections -- in the name of transit improvements -- was considered to be a bad impact on the environment. At the end of last year, the Board of Supervisors approved a change to the rule, such that transit-first projects that improve mobility but cause delay to cars will not be held up by costly analyses of whether this is good for the environment. Learn about the political and technical side of this change from Rachel Hiatt, transportation planner of the Transportation Authority, and the socio-political side from SF State Geography Professor Jason Henderson.
