Exciting new live episode of @MobilityPodcast from @NASEMTRB. We had the honor of being joined by @repblumenauer to learn about his career and the future of livable communities, bike policy, and tackling the climate crisis.

Definitely worth listening!

We were thrilled to interview @repblumenauer about his leadership in Congress to advance supportive policies for livable communities and bike/ped infrastructure.

“People have failed to appreciate the high cost of the automobile … some people think I’m declaring war on the automobile. But I’m not. It’s time to end socialism for the cars … the cost of free parking is exorbitantly expensive,” @repblumenauer tells @MobilityPodcast #TRBAM

[Greg Rogers @AVGregR]

@repblumenauer @MobilityPodcast “The automobile is the second-most expensive budget item for Americans … and congestion only makes things worse,” says @repblumenauer in a live @MobilityPodcast interview at #TRBAM.

He notes that EV proliferation means we will need to shift to a road use charge.

[Greg Rogers @AVGregR]

“One of my proudest moments was when we opened the bike lane on Pennsylvania Ave. I thought this street was large enough to land a 747. Could we build a bike lane here?”

Thrilled @repblumenauer’s with @MobilityPodcast for a live interview at our reception with @replica. #TRBAM

[Greg Rogers @AVGregR]

Thrilled to announce that @repblumenauer is joining us for a live @MobilityPodcast interview at our #TRBAM reception with @Replica on Monday!

After the interview, we'll play a live mobility game that every TRB nerd will love - you won't want to miss it!

This study is yet another reminder of why designing safer streets for children – rather than faster roads for cars – is essential for our personal and societal well-being.

Make happy childhoods abundant. When you build better cities for children and families, you build better cities for everyone.

Learn more: Anna Siprikova, a global expert in making streets safer for kids, joined us on our latest @MobilityPodcast episode to discuss this exact topic.

Anna leads the incredible #StreetsforKids program at @GlobalStreets, which is working with over 30 cities around the world on empowering communities to build child-friendly neighborhoods that improve outcomes for everyone.

Their Streets for Kids Reverse Periscope is genius. They're helping to inspire change by changing adults' perspectives: once you see cities through the eyes of children, you realize how hostile our vehicle designs and streetscapes are to children and thriving childhoods.

[Hilary Cain @HilaryCainDC]

This was a fun one! Check out my recent chat with @MoveGreg, @sophiejantz, and @MobilityPodcast on AVs, AV policy, and global competitiveness.

[Beyond Streets Podcast @BeyondStreetsP]

NEW: Hilary Cain is a leading voice on AV policy in the US – and she’s deeply concerned that federal inaction will cede American leadership in AV technology.

I was disappointed to miss #GHSA2023 this week due to a sick baby (family comes first!), but I really appreciated this candid, in-depth conversation with @jraindc of @GHSAHQ before the conference.

In typical @MobilityPodcast form, this episode is wonky *AND* fun – don't miss it!

[Beyond Streets Podcast @BeyondStreetsP]

American roads are becoming more dangerous for everyone – especially those on foot, in a wheelchair, and on a bike.

@jraindc, CEO of @GHSAHQ, joined us before #GHSA2023 to discuss the #SafeSystemApproach, vehicle designs & VRU safety, and more.

Tune in: https://t.co/Ny3R6rKFba

[Jonathan Adkins @jraindc]

Yep, I said it. The more I've learned about roadway safety, the less I want to drive. We have to make the roads safe for all users. Check out the podcast from the sharp & funny guys at @MobilityPodcast. I'm glad they'll be at #GHSA2023. @MoveGreg @smartertranspo @PeteGould_

[GHSA @GHSAHQ]

GHSA CEO @jraindc spoke with the @MobilityPodcast about the #SafeSystem approach, putting #VisionZero into action and the upcoming #GHSA2023 Annual Meeting. Thanks for the great conversation!

We‘ve been informed that some of the statements made by Jeff Tumlin in this episode were not factual and misrepresented some practices of AV companies, including prior engagement with SFMTA.

See our full note below. Stay tuned for our addendum episode with Jeff.

[Beyond Streets Podcast @BeyondStreetsP]

San Francisco is a hotbed for AV testing – and the city’s transportation chief had strong opinions to share in his impassioned keynote at #TRBautomated.

[Beyond Streets Podcast @BeyondStreetsP]

Building a safe AV requires a lot more—a whole lot more—than installing sensors and programming software.

@MoveGreg and @sophiejantz sat down with Nat Beuse, Chief Safety Officer at @aurora_inno, at #TRBautomated to dig deep into AV safety.
