While last week’s TRB Annual Meeting was very much focused on the potential impact of connected and autonomous vehicles, the World Resources Institute hosted an event on something less high-tech: bicycles. More specifically, the discussion focused on cycling infrastructure in Copenhagen as a catalyst for talking about redesigning American cities.

Eno compiled and reviewed all the results from transportation ballot measures that went before voters across the country on Election Day. Based on our research, we assembled some statistics to show how these measures fared nationwide. While there is much more to track and distill, the figures below provide a glimpse into the public opinion surrounding transportation at the state and local level. You can view our database of measures and results here.

Here at Eno, we are closely tracking not just the Presidential campaign drama, but also the hundreds and hundreds of transportation ballot measures and initiatives that are up for a vote on November 8. As we have written, the way these measures got on the ballot and the message voters will send foretell a future of more citizen involvement in the decisions that shape their communities and regions. In our quest to catalogue and analyze these measures, several interesting trends emerge.
