Excited to announce the launch of Bikecoin 🚲💰. It's a triptocurrency. You mine Bikecoin every time you make a daily trip by bike. The funds you earn are automatically not-deducted from your bank account in the form of not buying gas.

Great day to ride a bus, @GovInslee! Next stop: #FundPublicTransit!

[NACTO @NACTO]

Our climate is in crisis. It's clear that we can't just continue the policies that create yet more traffic, sprawl, and endlessly increased emissions.

So let's try a new approach. No more pumping huge amounts of federal money into new highways.

@ridewta @Whatcomctygov Thanks for the clarification! I was wondering how you kept your ferry operation under wraps from me for so long 😜

[Gardner Urena @GardnerOnTheGo]

@Transit_Happy @KitsapTransit *to this day.

[Gardner Urena @GardnerOnTheGo]

@Transit_Happy @KitsapTransit Still crushing on them to this. What a flex to have THREE fast ferries in addition to their fixed route connections.

[Gardner Urena @GardnerOnTheGo]

I couldn’t contain my excitement when I learned that @ridewta operates their own ferry route. Had to hop out for this photo op.

Rural transit is how I fell in love with transit. Happy #RuralTransitDay

When will people pay attention to the planet? Temps not normal. Where do you go? Water we all share, polluted. Air we breath, toxic. Trees and land disappear in the name of progress. Lazy leadership. Lazy policies. Cant eat, drink , breath money.

The worker who taped out this temporary bike lane marking on Main St near 5th Ave is a true artist. I love this font. #SEAbikes

BIG! France is offering car owners the chance to trade aging vehicles for €2500 euro ($2975) toward the purchase of an electric bike.

Every U.S. transit station must be accessible. It's unfathomable that almost 20% of bus, rail & other mass transportation stops *still* don’t comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act — more than 30 years after the landmark legislation.

My auditory processing just tanked. I’m halfway through this meeting and there’s no captioning. Wish me luck. #digitalaccessibility

@ctranvancouver Look at all the route timetables! You could go anywhere with all of those

[Spokane Transit @spokanetransit]

Within just a few years after the 1981 Public Transportation Benefit Area was established, ridership increased by 18% at STA reversing a general downward trend.

Ridership continued to grow hitting STA’s record high in 2014 with more than 11,324,400 boardings.

It's time to invest in the transit and walk/roll/bike infrastructure our communities need for the next century of our economy. #CleanAndJust

@i_transit_troll @kcmetrobus He was wondering why I stopped our morning walk for pictures. Came to tell me to get a move 😜

Spotted the cutest bus stop on my walk #SeaTransit
