The Elephant in the Room
Cartoon by Ian Lockwood

Transportation engineer Ian Lockwood is not only a leading voice within the profession for safer, multi-modal streets, he’s also an amateur cartoonist known for skewering the absurdity in the modern transportation industry. Streetsblog is pleased to announce that we’ll be featuring a new cartoon from him every month.

Here’s a timely one in response to the Trump administration’s proposal to eliminate federal funding for transit expansion projects while promising a $1 trillion infrastructure spending binge.

Feel free to share far and wide, with credit to Ian.
