Interested in public policy, wicked problems, disaster recovery, transportation, startups, and what to do next. Mostly from Boston.

@jahorne @DigitalSciGuy I think it should be a form of public transportation and eligible for funding as such. But I believe the definition of public transportation is that it must be shared (bus, subway, etc). Perhaps we need clarity if the system being shared (vs. the vehicle) counts?

@EdforBoston @BosLeonRivera Congestion pricing without a reliable alternative won’t be effective for Boston (or anywhere)…but how far are we (in years, billions, and political will) from the T being “fixed”?

@MBTA Have you tried turning the trolley off and then on again?

[Gastón @GastonKelly]

@emilyschario Dot Ave is pretty scary

According to @CREDUCL the deadliest Disaster in the world in 2020 was a heat wave in the UK. Very serious threat incoming.

[BBC Breaking News @BBCBreaking]

Red extreme heat warning issued for parts of England on Monday and Tuesday, meaning there is danger to life https://t.co/2QRzdlXEyB

This was always one of the most rewarding parts about expanding Uber beyond dense urban cores.

Ride-hailing services can make travel easier for disadvantaged communities in low-density transit deserts find @ShengxiaoLi, @WeiZhai1209, @junfengjiao and Chao (Kenneth) Wang of @Harvard https://t.co/CNuP5qfRqf

Protected bike lanes, bike superhighways, bus lanes, BRT, etc. All of them as soon as possible and Boston *might* be able to keep functioning.

[Gastón @GastonKelly]

Sounds like an appropriate amount of speed/urgency.

@SamLMontano Dr. Montano, I read your book as a way to start the transition from 'general audience' to academic researcher. I would have been lost without it (dissertation due next month).

@DavidZipper Interesting that there is no mention of gCO2e saved. Key part of the conversation in London transport.
