If you drive to work 5Xs a week
& switch to another mode 1X a week,
you’d reduce your contribution to congestion by 20%. You’re not STUCK in traffic: #youaretraffic https://t.co/IIFGkARc9T

@mdahmus You’re confusing CapMetro and the Austin Transit Partnership. Only ATP is authorized to build light rail.

Meanwhile, ATP still needs to get the Record of Decision (read: money) from the Federal Transit Administration. So: chill.

[Luke Bornheimer (Streets Forward) @LukeBornheimer]

Newly released study shows that separated bike lanes reduce maximum car speeds by 28%, average speeds for turning cars by 21%, and 8% for cars going straight.

If cities want to reduce speeding, they should install separated/protected bike lanes—it’ll also get more people biking!

@juliogatx This is a little out of context. Can you also show:
1) capital investment budget/year?
2) ridership/year?

CapMetro has made recent investments in Rail (stations/sidings), Rapid (stations/all-electric) & Pickup (routes) since COVID, which skews this data.

Transit hubs make great places!

[Christian May @cjamesmay]

Amazing activation of Plaza Saltillo for the Asian Night Market by @AsianChamberATX and the Lunar Foundation.

We need *more* transit hubs with vendors, food, and fun 🙂

It's a lot easier to rip out bus "infrastructure" than it is to take out train tracks, which is why the smarter anti-transit people concern-troll your rail projects and claim they just want rapid buses and aren't against transit in general of course.

[Alejandro @elneurozorro]

@schizacyrium i'll also add that most anti cycling folks somehow think that cycling is worthless if you can't do it 100% of the time.

if i take even 50% or 25% of my single car trips off the road, that's a huge W.

[Alliance4PublicTrans @ATXtransit]

@mdahmus Keep in mind that TDM is more than buses and trains. It’s also carpool, vanpool, telework, biking, shuttles…. @Movability

@CapMetroATX Paint the town RED!

[Mayor Kirk Watson @KirkPWatson]

A great day to be in Austin— and just in time for tonight’s @AustinFC match. ⚪️🟢

McKalla Station was made possible through the partnership of @CapMetroATX, @ATP_org and Austinites investment in Project Connect.

[AURA: An Austin for Everyone @AURAatx]

UT-Austin transformation incoming via Project Connect 🚈

[Alliance4PublicTrans @ATXtransit]

@lonnystern Oh come on! You know you want a free ride up and down Red River to get to Rainey Street, right? @ElectricCab

[Alliance4PublicTrans @ATXtransit]

@elneurozorro @BrandonTucker @KUTnathan @VisionZeroATX @Movability @BikeATX @safestreetsatx IF a two-way cycle-track will fit, it’s worth exploring.
*
IF NOT: Nueces / San Antonio could work & still offer access to businesses on Guadalupe.

REMEMBER:
Not every road must be a highway.
Not every road must be a tramway.
Not every road must be a bikeway.
