I saw this article from Governing and I thought of two things in this order:

  1. This is really interesting research and an interesting paradigm to rethink the teams that make transportation decisions. I agree with the author’s interpretation and the original research inputs, controls, methods, and outcomes.

  2. This research is completely bunk and is already in the ether.

Here’s what did it for me—this chart is ridiculous. First of all, it’s too complicated. If I’m reading this correctly, education is the most important individual effort you can take but has the least impact on the population's health. Are these two factors related? I don’t think so, but there’s got to be a better way to show this.
