Are zero emission buses great, yes…but if we want to be really green we need more people riding any type of bus. And that means we need a network and frequency that works for our region. Our goal should be to fund transit to run more service at more times/days/locations.

This before and after of the drought monitor from October to present day shows the dramatic improvement in drought across California this winter.

Interesting to see how Newsom postures on housing issues - nimbys and CEQA in particular - as he eyes a white house run in coming elections

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

A few wealthy Berkeley homeowners should not be able to block desperately needed student housing for years and even decades.

CEQA needs to change and we are committed to working with the legislature so California can build more housing.

Before the advent of the car, the rule in DC was that "all persons have an equal right in the highway, and that in exercising the right each shall take due care not to injure other users of the way."

Sweeping claims about fire safety in this context seem to be more about people's ideological priors. We're talking, after all, about legalizing building types that are ubiquitous in Western Europe, where every country has a much lower fire death rate than the U.S.

@pmeyer19 How dare you belittle transit-oriented parking?

[Daniel Pearson @DPearsonPHL]

You might be able to blame your recklessness on a medical episode when talking to American police, but Japan only has 2,600 traffic deaths per year and they treat each one seriously (probably related!) instead of just dismissing it as an unavoidable tragedy.

@CordellTraffic @DDOT @MCDOTNow @WABADC @MDSHA Very important. Thanks @MDSHA! Could use a similar bike lane along University Blvd. between Wheaton and College Park 👀👀

[Eyal @EyalDL]

Checked out two new segments of bike infrastructure in MD and the District today. First up, the Old Georgetown road protected bike lane.
Impressed by the width of the lane + buffer in some sections but disappointed that it ends as you approach Bethesda. Overall verdict: 🔥

[Andy Boenau @Boenau]

Active transportation comes in direct conflict with some very powerful & well-funded groups.

If you think that's ridiculous, ask yourself why they would start lobbying for something that's bad for business.

[Eyal @EyalDL]

Thanks @ddot @MCDOTNow @WABADC. More of this!

[Eyal @EyalDL]

Second, the 9th street NW protected lanes south of U street. Clear signaling, striping and concrete barriers made for a much more pleasant experience than riding on 9th st pre bike lanes. Verdict: 🔥

We got so sick of hearing about all the lithium we need to carpet the roads w electric cars. So we did the 1st study to quantify alternatives. Leading w mass transit, ebikes, and urban density cuts lithium demand by up to 90%, while slashing carbon & giving us mobility & freedom.

[Jeremy Glover @JGrantGlover]

Our streets will never be safe for children until we daylight A LOT more corners. We need to make it physically impossible for cars to crowd the crosswalk.

[Segregation_by_Design @SegByDesign]

Construction of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway required the forcible displacement of tens of thousands of people across the two boroughs. Designed by Robert Moses, the highway cut a nearly 15-mile gash through some of the most densely populated neighborhoods on the planet.
