ECR Shout out! We would like to congratulate @vickijenneson who was awarded the prize for Best Presentation at Nutrition Society’s Nutrition Futures Conference in Newcastle this year for her talk “Systematic review of electronic sales data in population dietary surveillance”.

Can Houston transition to a walkable, transit friendly city? Eliminating parking requirements in its most walkable, transit-accessible n'hoods would be a good start. https://t.co/94czytLCNb

Swiss citizens just voted to make their national government more responsible for coordinating & developing cycling infrastructure nationwide, enshrining it right in their constitution. The "yes" side of the national plebiscite won with 73.6% of the vote.

When Vancouver’s newly-elected mayor proposed a protected bike lane in 2008, pundits claimed it would be the beginning and end of his political career.

In the decade since, the three-term mayor built a robust, citywide network for all ages and abilities.

@StreetsblogUSA Shame he takes it as a special outing and not his normal co.mute mode (unless he generally walks or cycles?)

[Streetsblog USA @StreetsblogUSA]

Mayors riding the bus is always a happy story.

"This is one of the most sought-after services that I've experienced as a mayor. People have been asking for increased, fixed-route public transportation"

Warren, Ohio, Mayor Doug Franklin

54% of commuters were emailing for work. Should catching up on emails on the commute constitute work time? Some great research from ⁦@drjulietjain⁩ and ⁦@UWE_CTS⁩ reported here and at #RGSIBG2018 https://t.co/0aYLjDx3C5

Another reason people find rail travel so inconvenient! Really hard for anyone with eyesight or cognitive difficulties or anyone who doesn’t normally travel by train to understand these or even not lose them! This must change!

[Community Severance @StreetMobility]

@ScientologyDad @StreetsblogUSA Need to advocate for more travel data by mode. Also disaggregate stats by age & gender as risks (in Europe) vary more by age & gender than by travel mode. Eg Feleke at al #JTranspHealth @Transport_ELS @UCLTI @HSSRGnews

[Community Severance @StreetMobility]

@ScientologyDad @StreetsblogUSA PLEASE stop using per capita rates. The #denominator needs to be a measure of #exposure eg no. of trips or time travelled. See Feleke et al #JTranspHealth Per capita rates used by UK Minister: "Cycling safer in UK than Netherlands." Get nonsense results @UCLTI @Transport_ELS
