I did a thing! Well, I did two things: became a PhD *candidate* & wrote a blog post about what's to come (hint: more blog posts). Check it out, share your thoughts, and subscribe on the welcome page if you like what you read! https://t.co/nPEv4nsVx0

@wmata @wmataGM I watched a 74 bus pass someone waiting at the 6 St SW & K St SW stop today. I have no idea why they didn't stop - the person was waving - but please remind your drivers to pause for a moment to check for riders before they continue on, especially in this heat.

Jamya was 20 years old when she was killed by a driver who ran a red light in downtown DC. The Council can fund a program to prevent others from experiencing similar tragedies: https://t.co/RFWf1hTOyl

If you’re not borrowing a free cargo e-bike on a day like today, what are you doing?! 🕶️

On beautiful days like today, don’t miss out on reserving a cargo e-bike to ride with family, friends, and pets! ☀️

Coffee ☕, donuts 🍩 and a chalk cycletrack 🚲 around the infamous LP lawn fence!

🧵Hi y’all! I’m embarking on my dissertation research & am seeking bike bus participants who would be willing to be interviewed about their experience! If that's you, please sign up here by June 15th (https://t.co/WrSGOloWlH) or use the QR code in the flyer 🙏🏻 👋🏻 @CoachBalto

[Ashton R. Rohmer 🚴‍♀️🚍🚃🚶‍♀️✌️🌇 @AshtonInDC]

The interviews will be no longer than 60 minutes for adult participants, will be conducted via Zoom, and will mostly take place in Summer 2024 🌇 (I’m also recruiting youth participants of adults who participate and consent to their kiddos chatting with me for 5-10 minutes) 🚲

Traffic deaths have gone up 93% in 5 years in DC. That incl. on CT Ave.

Kershbaum called it “nuance.” I call it cowardice. A total lack of vision & leadership at the very top: @MayorBowser.

Watch starting at :40. https://t.co/nPCprZflb6

Curious if other women/people who identify as women in #bikedc have had these types of experiences? Makes me want to pilot a study in the DMV to measure/track misogynist aggressions/abuses toward female cyclers/micromobility users... https://t.co/RrDL3Wtos3

5/8ths of DC’s fatalities in 2024 have been hit-and-runs. We’re running a 100% increase in fatalities over last year

[Ashton R. Rohmer 🚴‍♀️🚍🚃🚶‍♀️✌️🌇 @AshtonInDC]

Listening to this DDOT performance oversight hearing and all the testimonies about congestion pricing. This would not increase support among car drivers, but I really want to rename it to privilege pricing. It is a privilege to drive and should be priced as such.

[Ashton R. Rohmer 🚴‍♀️🚍🚃🚶‍♀️✌️🌇 @AshtonInDC]

@BikeGillian Maybe you could remove the white/blue boxes w/ "safest mode of transpo" and "one of the most sustainable modes of travel" since those take-aways are apparent in the graphics/titles/red ovals themselves? Also agree re: removing image of family in car.

[Ashton R. Rohmer 🚴‍♀️🚍🚃🚶‍♀️✌️🌇 @AshtonInDC]

@DavidZipper Exactly why @jlrhart started this petition to get @NHTSAgov to include a vehicle’s risk of killing a pedestrian in their 5-star safety rating system - it's less than 13k signatures away from the 50k goal, plenty of time to add your name. https://t.co/InG4yP7y8W

[Ashton R. Rohmer 🚴‍♀️🚍🚃🚶‍♀️✌️🌇 @AshtonInDC]

@1800GOTJUNK ? I sure do! This parking job looks like junk to me (as do these rear plates in need of upgrading). Boggles my mind that people park in a bike lane *even when* they could ostensibly just fully park in that (non)parking zone. Get your folks in line, literally. @DCDPW

[Commissioner VJ Kapur @vj5c07]

Hope to see folks out a week from tomorrow!

[Jessica Hart [email protected] @jlrhart]

We marked #WDoR2023 on Sunday in a slightly unconventional way: we gathered on a playground, had donuts & coffee, remembered those we’ve lost, and called for safe streets across our region. It was heartbreaking and beautiful.

Let’s see our world thru the eyes of children.
