Failing U.S. Transportation Infrastructure

transportgooru:

Via Time.com

In the past 25 years, miles traveled by car or truck have doubled, but total highway length has barely budged—one reason the World Economic Forum ranked American infrastructure a troubling 24th out of 124 nations.

When will google maps be updated to include visible expo stations?

….or is there a way we can do this ourselves? Right now, an expo station only shows up if you search for it by name. You can’t view more than one of the stations at once and google maps won’t suggest an expo station when traveling near it or connecting to a nearby bus route…

Asked by Bridget Arlene. Google Maps is being updated in a continual process, with some expo stations currently showing up. Google did send their team out to do the downtown south LA green bikes lanes, so it has created a kind of precedent for these kinds of things, at least. We’ll keep you updated, and if anyone has other news, feel free to submit!
