The Moonlight Ramble is back for a 49th (yes, 49th!) year. Don't miss it. https://t.co/hKGJ7rg4I7

Oh, ok... Good way to eliminate locals from supporting your business. #VisionZero

8/ Two points to remember. First, traffic forecasting is deeply flawed. Second, we get the travel behavior we build for, not the behavior we claim to want. If we want different behavior, we need to build a different system.

We had a close call with an aggressive SUV driver on Saturday’s #BiketoberfestHOU ride 🧵⬇️

We need to design intersections to be safe for everyone who uses them, including dinosaurs.

Join Rice University’s Office of Access Equity and Equal Opportunity in celebrating National Disability Awareness Month (NDEAM). NDEAM celebrates America’s workers with disabilities and is a time we remind, promote and encourage inclusive hiring practices.

I’ve been waiting my whole life for this.

"The backdrop of the Waller Bike Crash is one riddled with anti-bike bias."

A judge in Waller once told a @BIKELAWcom attorney, "We don't like your kind."

BREAKING: Judge Hidalgo just announced that Harris County’s COVID19 threat level is being moved to Red (severe and uncontrolled spread) If you’re unvaccinated, stay home and avoid all contact with others.

I wonder how many people alive have ridden the Mexico City @trensuburbano and the @Amtrak Coast Starlight in the same day!

This Sunday, @BetoORourke will be in Houston with @poweredxpeople in support of access for all Texans to the ballot box. Make plans to meet them at Finnigan Park in Fifth Ward!

The Texas Legislature has now passed essentially an abortion ban (even in rape & incenst) AND permit-less carry.

Effectively, pretty much no one can get an abortion, pretty much everyone can open-carry a gun.

Meanwhile... no word on expanding healthcare to the 20% uninsured.

[Lina Hidalgo @LinaHidalgoTX]

Partisan fights are ok. But Democracy can’t be a wedge issue. Voting rights cannot be up for debate. 

Everyone must stand against voter suppression. 

If you're silent, you’re complicit.

[Lina Hidalgo @LinaHidalgoTX]

Today @SylvesterTurner and I are cancelling our 2021 State of the County/City addresses hosted by the Greater Houston Partnership. Voting rights in Texas is the civil rights fight of our time. We simply cannot tacitly endorse GHP's refusal to consider speaking out on this issue.

[One Breath @OneBreathHOU]

Why does access to the ballot box matter in Texas? Why do #HB6/#SB7 matter? Hear why from @CleanAirMoms_TX, @airallianceHOU, @BayouCityWK and @SeaTurtles_org — and then go tell your representative why it matters to you. #txlege

[Rodney Ellis @RodneyEllis]

On this day 53 years ago the Fair Housing Act was signed into law. This act made it illegal to discriminate based on race, religion, national origin,& sex when renting or selling housing.

#FairHousingMonth is the time where we refocus our commitment.

@CarletonGeoff Was it a Mercedes driver? They love flipping me off, too!

[Lina Hidalgo @LinaHidalgoTX]

Today we sued TxDOT over the misguided I-45 expansion project. There’s a way to address our transit challenges, but more and wider highways is not it. We can’t build a competitive county with transportation policy that hasn't changed since the 50s.

[Lina Hidalgo @LinaHidalgoTX]

NEW: The feds have told TXDOT to pause I-45 expansion pending further review. The truth is, they have acted in bad faith throughout this process, refusing to incorporate expert and community feedback. We won't be bullied. Thanks to everyone who is pushing back.
