    Parcel carriers stepped up their Thanksgiving week delivery game, report finds

    The three major U.S. parcel carriers achieved their highest on-time delivery rates for Thanksgiving week e-commerce orders since 2013, helped by infrastructure and technology investments that improved their reliability and response times, according to data published today by ShipMatrix, an affiliate of transport consultancy SJ Consulting. UPS Inc. (NYSE:UPS) appeared to have made the biggest strides, hitting a 98.3 percent on-time mark, 10 points better than in the 2017 perio

    Inspector General investigating TSA racial profiling allegations after FOX 46 report

    The Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General confirms it is investigating whether the TSA "has consistently ensured adequate policies are in place to prevent racial discrimination when conducting screening of the traveling public" following a FOX 46 investigation. In August, three former federal air marshals said a TSA employee instructed them to target African Americans when they worked at the Orlando International Airport a decade ago. "He told us to stop

    Gun Discoveries Are Surging At Airports, And Texas Is Leading The Way

    More than 771 million people passed through airport security across the country last year. And mixed in among the liquids and wrapped presents, Transportation Security Administration agents are finding something else in passengers’ carry-ons: thousands of loaded guns. From 2015 to 2017, the TSA found at least 9,866 firearms in carry-on baggage at airports nationwide. Four of the top 10 airports were in Texas. Dallas-Fort Worth came in at No. 2, and Love Field at No. 9. Unlike

    Fixing Transportation May Be the Most Important Job Cities Have

    Reversing decades of car-focused transportation in the United States will have to be led by cities. And if they can effectively get people out of their cars, this could be one of the biggest steps toward sustainability and slowing climate change. Cities “need to be the captain of your entire system,” said Andreas Mai, executive vice president of market development and innovation at transportation company Keolis. “And when I say, ‘entire system,’ I mean entire system. Every pi

    Rounding up Hill chatter on infrastructure, gas tax

    MORE OF THE SAME: At an Environment and Public Works Committee hearing on surface transportation infrastructure, Chairman John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) said he’d like to stick to existing formula programs to distribute infrastructure dollars — an idea incoming House Transportation Chairman Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) also endorses. But James Corless, executive director of the Sacramento Area Council of Governments, said the federally funded mass transit systems that are aging and “about

    Walt Disney World Might Be A New Stop for Brightline/Virgin High Speed Rail System

    Despite all of the transportation options these days, visitors to Walt Disney World might have an easier way of getting to Orlando International Airport and Tampa if a proposed Brightline stop comes to fruition. Brightline had previously announced plans for a high-speed passenger rail system to run up through Florida, from Miami to Orlando. The end goal was to allow easier travel between these two major metropolitan cities, not only for locals, but for tourists as well. Now,

    Stakeholders urge Congress to approve long-term transportation funding

    This week, three prominent transportation stakeholders told the members of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee that the country’s transportation network is desperately in need of long-term federal funding assurances. According to a report from Transport Topics, Carlos Braceras, AASHTO president and Utah DOT executive director, emphasized that Congress needs to begin work on reauthorizing the FAST Act in order to smoothly transition to the next long-term funding

    The Texas bullet train now looks likely. Here’s what to expect

    Texas Central said it will break ground late next year on the first bullet train line in the United States, which will connect Dallas to Houston, and the train, technology and much of the know-how is coming from Japan. “We will start the construction next year,” said Masaru Yosano, Chief General Manager of Central Japan Railway Company. Yosano flies to Texas once a month to help coordinate the project with partners at Texas Central Railway Company, the private firm that’s dev

    TX: City searching for transit center site

    For years, travelers have stood in a convenience store parking lot waiting to catch buses headed out of town. At the Stripes store, they buy their tickets, standing in the sun and rain to board buses bound for stops in the United States and Mexico. It's not a safe and comfy way to travel. All that might change. After two years of planning, the search is on for a site for the city's $5 million transit center. Inside its terminal, businesses such as fast-food restaurants and re

    Massport plans to spend $1 billion on expanded harbor facilities

    The Massachusetts Port Authority is planning to issue more than $1 billion in new debt over the coming years as it embarks on a series of projects designed to accommodate more passenger flights, larger cruise ships and larger container vessels in Boston.
