Since we launched California Streetsblog a little over a year ago—scratch that—since we started statewide coverage under the Los Angeles Streetsblog banner two years ago, the tiny California team has worked hard to bring you information that you won't find elsewhere.
Among our regular coverage of what's happening in the state legislature, we brought a story, not reported elsewhere, that showed how a single legislator's agenda derailed efforts to make the California Transportation Commission more inclusive and better qualified to discuss transportation impacts to others besides the developer and business-focused interests that its members currently represent.
We've written many stories about Caltran's work to shift from being a highway department to one that facilitates travel by all modes—a herculean effort to bring culture change to a giant, statewide agency, and one that should have profound impacts on the way we travel in the future.

We want to bring you the most complete reporting on the state that we can, and we do it with few people and a very limited budget.

You can help us continue bringing you important stories by supporting Streetsblog California with a donation today. Click here. If you donate at least $75, we'll send you one of these beautiful, elegant T-shirts (both men's and women's styles are available). And whatever amount you donate will help us continue reporting on statewide issues that matter to us all.
