Our current system is built around cars and inequality, not people and justice. 

Burgh Blog reports on news, ideas, and actions to help re-imagine a transportation system that is safe, equitable, sustainable, and joyful.

Our coverage aims to:

• Help you understand how the current system works and how you can advocate for change

• Report on Pittsburgh transportation news / ideas / actions, and frame them in a wider context

• Report on national and academic news / ideas / actions, and frame them in a local context

Pittsburgh transportation news

Burgh Blog focuses on the greater Pittsburgh area — suburbs and small towns as well as the city.

Editor’s note: Currently this site is a one-man operation, and I’m a man who is cis/white/able-bodied. I am seeking to work with community organizations and leaders who offer more diverse perspectives, and if you are interested in contributing please reach out.
