@ctclimatejobs This is important to point out. They started off strong with the Toyota Prius, but then doubled down on fossil fueled hybrids rather than all electric. Toyota is a real climate bummer.

@ctclimatejobs City of New Haven and a bunch of organizations just put a lot of time into a (successful) application for the EPA Thriving Communities Grant. Now that grant along with many others are stopped by the new administration.

Won't the same thing happen to this one? Not good.

@CTDOTOfficial Please don't forget sidewalks and multiuse trails. There are often sidewalks on CT DOT properties in CT cities that never get cleared of snow and ice. That's where folks most need snow and ice cleared for safe mobility and walking to work and bus stops.

@SteveFainer We're likely going to leave Twitter/X and move to another platform, probably Bsky. We've seen very little engagement on X posts, and this platform doesn't seem useful.

@StreetsblogNYC E-bikes sold by bike shops all have a Class (I, 2, or 3) sticker or decal on the frame.

More important than trying to call a Class 3 e-bike a moped, shouldn't we be pushing harder to put speed limiters on motor vehicles. No one should be able to drive 100 mph in a 25 mph zone.

[New Haven Coalition for Active Transportation @NHCAT1]

@StreetsblogNYC There's a big difference between a Class 3 e-bike (28 mph max) and a 40 mph moped, especially Class 3 e-bikes that don't include a throttle. Please don't lump those two light (electric) vehicle types together.

Heads up! Jan 9th meeting in New Haven to provide input on the @CTDOTOfficial Active Transportation Plan.

Happy New Year! Here's to more walking, biking, and safer streets in 2025! https://t.co/GI23CHjlFf #ActiveTransportation #VisionZero @bikewalkct @peopleforbikes @americawalks @BikeLeague

@SteveFainer @Amtrak That is terribly unfortunate.

When I'm traveling between Hartford and New Haven I do my best to use the CTrail trains. There is plenty of room and no $20 bike ticket reservation nonsense.

@JackPosobiec It looks like their government invests in public transit.

Community Meeting - Tuesday, 12/10 @ 6 pm | The New Haven Green is a one of our city’s most defining, treasured and utilized public spaces. And we’ve got some exciting ideas on how we can improve the Green and the streetscape even further. 1/2

Support youth learning how to ride bikes at school! We need fifteen $1 donations to unlock the matching grant and close out the NCAT Fall crowdfunding campaign. https://t.co/lPkiPGJBvB

@NickAddamo Stout pedestrian median bollards (or boulders) should be the standard for all state DOTs and local traffic authorities. @CTDOTOfficial @NACTO @TheFHWAOnline @NHTSAgov

The most effective way to stay up to date with NCAT classes, rides, programs, and active transportation advocacy is to sign up for the NCAT monthly newsletter. https://t.co/1kVpl8N86L

Quick question: Is this platform helpful for getting out information about safe streets, traffic calming, & classes in New Haven?

We don't see much engagement & may drop the platform since it is ineffective for organic reach, even with those that follow our account.

Thoughts?

[New Haven Coalition for Active Transportation @NHCAT1]

Zero interactions or comments on this post, even from @NHCAT1 followers confirms that this platform is not useful for reaching our network.

We'll talk internally. Stay tuned for updates re: social media and NCAT posting. For now, follow us on FB https://t.co/8rDiMW7r0W
