Jim Cameron's Talking Transportation columns are some of the best-read pieces on our site. And while Jim takes some holiday time off this week, here are his five most widely read columns from 2025 for readers to re-enjoy -- or fume over, whichever is the case.
No. 5: Avelo Airlines — neither woke nor broke.
While understandable, public
anger over Avelo Airlines' contract with the U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement to fly deportation flights for the Department of Homeland
Security is misplaced.
No. 4: Blinded by the (head) light
You are driving down a dark
narrow road and suddenly blinded by an oncoming pair of headlights. !!X#&%($!!! Where's
the road? Am I going to crash? Why is this happening and what can I do?
No. 3: CT’s Real ID deadline is looming
Quick. Look at your
Connecticut driver’s license! If you don’t see a gold star in the upper
right corner, you’ll soon be unable to use that as ID to fly.
No. 2: Shapiro’s Folly – a bridge over Long Island Sound
How did we get sucked into a
debate about a project that every transportation expert I spoke with said just
won’t happen?
...And on to the most-read
Talking Transportation column of the year...
No. 1: Out-of-state license plates are costing CT towns big money
“This is the number one form
of tax evasion in Connecticut. Connecticut is losing millions annually
and our DMV does not care.” So says the president of the Connecticut
Association of Assessing Officers.

Year”!
