Connect our Transit! Legalize Housing!

Connect Amtrak to the BART trunk at West Oakland. Give sustainable and space-efficient travel priority on roads. Plenty of room for everyone with wise choices.

From $F's 10-Q:

In the course of one quarter, Ford decides to shift capital spending from L4 to L2/L3, checks whether others might want to acquire Argo or leverage its tech, and determines it "no longer has value as a going concern."

Boom goes a $2.7 billion investment.

Sacramento! Please vote NO on Measure A. The resulting expansion of highways will jeopardize any hope of ever meeting our climate goals and jeopardize State transportation for the region.

We have multiple opportunities to ask #Link21 staff questions and give feedback this week.

Including a virtual meeting on Wed with a specific focus on the East Bay and an in person event at 12th Street BART.

On Thursday we will be at the Capitol Corridor Sacramento station.

Some people think the research showing planning restrictions have a large effect on housing prices is controversial.
Among urban economists, it is not.
Objections on twitter reflect simple misunderstandings that are not taken seriously in the research literature.

Absolutely floored to see a main takeaway from @BloombergNEF #EV Market Outlook is that #EVs aren't enough to get us to #netzero, nor are they the most efficient way to reach it. We need more public transit, walking, and cycling.

Sounds great but how much is the admin spending on highway widening and other projects that make non-car transport worse?

[Josh Boak @joshboak]

The Biden administration is steering $5 billion to cities and localities to address the growing traffic safety crisis by slowing down cars, carving out bike paths and wider sidewalks and nudging people to public transit.

City of Davis is going to spend $47 million to improve Russell Blvd but will NOT build a 1/4 a mile bus route to reduce the auto dependence of over 3,000 residents.

Please call 530-757-5693 after 12pm to request building a bus-only connection to West Village and Russell Blvd.

A ranking of specific measures found to reduce driving in European cities (800 papers reviewed).

Decongestion pricing #1. Note that bringing transport options into a single app/subscription -- i.e. Mobility-as-a-Service -- is not on the list.
