Legislators look to expanded drilling for transportation funding
Since a gas tax seems to be an unlikely source of transportation funding, some legislators are looking to oil. In fact, Speaker John Boehner has called revenues for infrastructure improvements via oil and gas drilling expansions a “natural link,” according to Politico.

Headbanging. Safely.
They slam their heads into trees thousands of times a day. No brain damage and, as far as we know, no headaches. Woodpeckers. Now industrial designer Anirudha Surabhi has created a new, super-strong bike helmet, which protects cyclists’ heads by mimicking features of the woodpecker’s distinctive anatomy. The woodpecker is not built like other birds; […]

The roads to First Manassas, then and now.
The things we do in the name of progress.

It’s meaningless and meaningful at the same time, a refuge for some and a rallying cry […]

Are traffic lights always preferable to stop signs? It’s not a new debate, and this time it’s a suburb in Brooklyn, New York, that is raising the issue.

Transportation funding talks remain stagnant
The debate over transportation funding continues as MAP-21’s expiration date—September 2014—inches closer and closer. Congressional discussions about how to increase funding are seemingly going nowhere, Politico reported. While transportation funding, particularly the Highway Trust Fund, continues to decrease, ideas about an increase in the gas tax (which has remained stagnant since its 18.4-cent-per-gallon raise in […]

Let’s say Elvis was still around somewhere. Let’s say his plot to flee the spotlight and disappear into a quiet life far from the madding crowd was still working.
