Exploring the history of publicly available transportation and public spaces to be more aware of and to improve the mobility we experience in cities and towns.

@AirCanada Big shout out to Ines Marantia in Lisbon!!! You made my daughter feel taken care of and you personally booked her on a flight. Thank you so much! It means so much to me.

[AlteredMobility @AlteredMobility]

Thank you to all of the employees of @AirCanada who helped me to get my daughter on a flight home!

[AlteredMobility @AlteredMobility]

@AirCanada - Thank you for getting on this. Just trying to bring my daughter home to celebrate July 4th with the whole family!

[AlteredMobility @AlteredMobility]

@AirCanada Thank you! Does it matter that the reservation was made on Expedia?

[AlteredMobility @AlteredMobility]

@AirCanada - Please help my daughter! She’s getting on a delayed flight from Lisbon to Pearson and no one is answering your phone or helping at the airport so that she can catch a flight home to DC. Need a flight at about 8 tonight.

[AlteredMobility @AlteredMobility]

@AirCanada: My daughter will miss her connection in Toronto due to a delayed international flight. She’s been trying for 3 hours and ZERO help from your airline in Lisbon. How can she get a flight to DC at about 8pm tonight?

Every public official who says "public safety is our highest priority" can you please explain this? https://t.co/PDuv2SsqoE

@all_ass_no_gas @ShabazzStuart In case you want to shoot a WWII movie in your driveway.

Where are @NHTSAgov, the rest of the @USDOT and Congress? If we mainly fund high-speed roads and allow large vehicles then we will continue to see #pedestrians die. It’s a simple equation.

@Gothamist Will be a miracle to see such a skylight illuminate Penn Station. I don’t know about sweetheart deals or possible corruption, but it takes guts for a politician to say that the government will pay for something ambitious.

[AlteredMobility @AlteredMobility]

Stop trying to educate drivers and actually build non-lethal vehicles and roads.

[nhtsagov @NHTSAgov]

Driving in wet weather takes a little extra patience. It’s harder to control or stop your vehicle on a slick road. Increase your following distance so you’ll have plenty of time to stop for vehicles ahead of you. 🚗____🚗 ____🚗

@reneeautumnray You are a saint.

[AlteredMobility @AlteredMobility]

@actfortransit Are you kidding? Just put “please don’t mug anyone” signs in high crime areas. The crashes are caused by a combination of roads designed and allowing for speed and ever larger vehicles. Stop educating and begging humans to avoid an attractive nuisance of dangerous roads.

[AlteredMobility @AlteredMobility]

@DavidZipper @NHTSAgov Saw lots of these in Europe. Problem for US is safety bc those little things would be eaten by the giant vehicles going at high speeds on US roads.

[AlteredMobility @AlteredMobility]

@lufthansa: Do I have to fly the plane too? ZERO CUSTOMER SERVICE at @AirportSchipol. Machine rejected check in bag. 90-min service line; one clerk. I’m petite; can’t lift luggage into overhead. Guess you don’t want business of #pwd or @AARPadvocates.

[AlteredMobility @AlteredMobility]

DC: Amazing performance of #KingLear at @ShakespeareinDC. Wonderful cast, staging. Reminds you why live theatre exists. #STCKingLear

[AlteredMobility @AlteredMobility]

Who was driving? The person or the Tesla driver assistance system?

[AlteredMobility @AlteredMobility]

Hooray for Minneapolis! Minneapolis city council voted unanimously (12-0) for municipal sidewalk plowing that will clear snow and ice. Thx to @americawalks for the news! #walkability #walking

[David Zipper @DavidZipper]

Kudos to @andres_sevtsuk & team:

"Most U.S. city governments know very little about their sidewalk networks ... It seemed like a really important technology to develop, especially in an open-source way that can be used by other places.”
