Outlet track record
Streetsblog USA (Opinion)
U.S. progressive / transportation advocacy
Streetsblog USA is a nonprofit news and advocacy outlet operated by Open Plans, Inc. that covers transportation policy with an explicit focus on promoting walking, cycling, and public transit while opposing car-centric infrastructure. Its coverage consistently reflects the 'livable streets' movement perspective rather than neutral reporting. Under the Trump administration's second term, its coverage has been broadly critical, particularly over federal cuts to transit funding, holds on sustainable transportation grants, and the administration's efforts to roll back congestion pricing.
