Our final America's Best Bus Stop battle is a bit of a David and Goliath story...though our readers might disagree about which stop is really the underdog.

A secretive group is painting crosswalks in Los Angeles where they say the city has failed to provide basic infrastructure to protect walkers — so it's worth noting the wealth of resources available to would-be tactical urbanists.

It's Boston vs. Lewes, Delaware as we race to the finals.

An artful bus stop can transform a wearisome wait into an inspiring visit to a micro-museum — and these stops are true masterpieces.  Today, we're looking at three stops that straddle the line between sculpture and public utility, without sacrificing the basics of good benches, shelters, sidewalks and more.

Great bus stops don't grow on trees — but a lot of them sure do have a lot of greenery.  Today, we're looking at three stops that celebrate the natural world, even when they're planted in the middle of a concrete jungle. And some of them incorporate Mother Nature in some pretty creative ways. Let's dig right in. (Yes, that is a gardening joke.)

A truly green new deal must focus on reducing the amount Americans drive, a new report argues — and doing so will take an unprecedented portfolio of investments into sustainable modes. 

After years and years of sending up sorry stops across America, we're turning our attention to wonderful waiting areas for once.

A new zine from a top transit nonprofit explores why the needs of women need to be at the center of U.S. transit planning — and what it's like for gender-marginalized people who are working to change the status quo.

A law firm examined 20 years of fatal crash data, analyzing 159,394 fatal crashes that were designated as intersection-related. Less than 1 percent of U.S. intersections even had one fatal crash (147,000). And 1,828 had three or more fatal crashes — less than .01 percent. Check it out.

You still have a little time to submit your nomination for our America's Best Bus Stops contest — and we've got a little last-minute inspiration for you. 

More than 40 states have failed to adopt common-sense laws that advocates say would prevent many of the most easily avoidable crash deaths — and that reluctance to do the bare minimum doesn’t bode well for those states’ potential to more comprehensively reimagine their approaches to traffic safety.
