#Miami is the most hostile city for #pedestrians. This is in the heart of #CoconutGrove in @kenrussellmiami's district on the recently repaved Bird Ave, where @MyFDOT_Miami found this crosswalk to be perfectly acceptable.

Three hard truths from #APTATRANSform25 that transit leaders can't ignore:

🔧 Tech vendors are breaking under procurement pressure

🚂 Commuter rail is proving AI works (95% accuracy in safety)

⚡ FTA Admin's reality check: "Move now"

My analysis: https://t.co/D72JmsHkng 🧵

[Gabriel Lopez-Bernal @ElUrbanista]

Federal transportation policy is stuck in reverse.

Join the voices ready to fix broken procurement processes that kill innovation.

Always inspired by @wmataGM's vision. Under his leadership, @wmata is setting a global benchmark in ridership growth with a straightforward formula: fast, frequent, and safe service.

Quality transit brings riders back—something every agency should strive for.

Very low ridership...

As passenger rail evolves into 'high-speed mobile data centers' through digital transformation, they unlock opportunities to innovate, meet passenger expectations, and address operators' needs for safety and security.

.@MiamiBeachNews: Take a cue from REAL vessel transport services in Copenhagen, Gothenburg, and Stockholm...

[Transit Miami @transitmiami]

If #Miami is ever going to get serious about vessel transport (we know it's not) it should look to emulate the success of Scandinavian Cities: Copenhagen, Goteborg, and Stockholm.

Fast, efficient, integrated with the waterfront..

@BikeWalkMB Do NOT eliminate bulb outs for parking, @MiamiBeachNews.

[Asbestos Insulation Enthusiast @rustbeltenjoyer]

Fewer things changed my perspective on the reality of American cities than the realization that they weren't built for the car, but demolished for it.

This approach ensures we demonstrate effective transit development in North America before expanding into new infrastructure ventures."

Check out what @ElUrbanista had to share with @Railway_News at #AptaRail24:

"In #MiamiFL, there’s been a tendency to showcase elaborate plans for new infrastructure, yet actual accomplishments over the past two decades are disappointing...

[Transit Miami @transitmiami]

These are locations where interurban and streetcar services once fostered dense land use patterns, supportive of public transit. Instead of chasing after shiny new projects, we must maintain focus on investing transportation dollars into revitalizing existing corridors.

[Miami Today @MiamiTodayNews]

LINKING TRANSIT DATA: A requirement to move data from 35 separate transit systems onto a single app in a way that would link the schedules and routes for passengers throughout Miami-Dade County got an endorsement...

[Transit Miami @transitmiami]

The recipe to success is simple: Light, simple infrastructure to a connected waterfront.

[Gabriel Lopez-Bernal @ElUrbanista]

Every new transit project in North America should aim for what @MetroenKBH exemplifies:

1. Fast, frequent service with 4-minute headways 🚇
2. Clean, safe, and modern facilities 🛃
3. A comfortable and enjoyable customer experience ☺️
