Active transportation advocate. Film and media prof. Let's reimagine how we connect. Digital is great fast. Streets are great sticky and slow!

@SenatorShaheen Two new bills from @SenMarkey and @SenFettermanPA would help end our street safety crisis. Please support the Complete Streets Act and Building Safer Streets Act. @t4america https://t.co/se3NtIbMPa

The @opry is hosting Jason Aldean at a fundraiser for the Covenant School in Nashville. One would think there are many other country music artists they could invite instead?

[Effective Transit Alliance @eta_ny]

We sometimes criticize transit projects that cost $50k per rider or more, but @PANYNJ is spending $635k per parking space at JFK. This is hugely wasteful! We call on Port Authority to cancel this project and redirect the funds to PATH and JFK AirTrain. https://t.co/VAxWbhJHYN

Flashback: The Trump campaign orchestrated the fake electors scheme.

Stephen Miller: “Today, an alternate slate of electors in contested states is going to vote, and we’re going to send those results up to Congress. This will ensure that all of our legal remedies remain open.”

@Spottnik I wonder what Hanover NH's ratio is!

[National Park Service @NatlParkService]

Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's neighbelline.

[Jennie Chamberlain @Twoalpacas]

Yes.

Why does our town have wide crossings and center turn lanes in low volume roads? Why are there even questions about counting pedestrians before installing a safe crossing at a bus stop and where families need to cross the street to get to the one sidewalk?

[Tim Frémaux @timfremaux]

The progressive transportation/traffic engineer's playbook:

🚫 Slip lanes, right turn lanes, right turn overlap signals, right turn on red
🚫 Center turn lanes on low volume roads
🚫 Fixation on crashes or existing bike/ped volume to justify accommodations

1/2

@HanoverNHPolice thank you so much for supporting safer speeds and infrastructure - I read a story from another 1st responder today that reminded me how important this and your work is and how you are helping our town with these issues

[Tyler Newcomb (He/Him) @tylernewcomb_]

Twitter hasn’t heard the story of how I, an SUV owning EMT, became the safe streets advocate I am today. 🧵

I became an EMT in late 2018. I owned and drove an SUV, and was pretty ambivalent about infrastructure and safe streets (sometimes maybe even skeptical).

[Jennie Chamberlain @Twoalpacas]

@tylernewcomb_ @bikejc @SafeStreetsJC Tyler thanks for sharing your story. I will share with our fire and police department

[Jennie Chamberlain @Twoalpacas]

@WarrenJWells Some adopt smaller trucks.... I don't know what convinces people. Maybe they dealt with enough horrible and traffic wrecks

[David Ho @_david_ho_]

Behold my favorite traffic calming device.

[Sarah @Henryz_mom]

I keep meeting parents who've lost beautiful bright children w lives just beginning to unfold. Yesterday I met Alek's dad, a thoughtful man devastated by the loss of his young adult son. Alek was struck by an SUV driver while cycling. We've tolerated road fatalities far too long.

[Calvin Gladney @SmartGrowthCEO]

Our @SmartGrowthUSA Board Member Patrice Frey, and our fave collaborator @NatlMainStreet, nail this piece! The Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund is a great opportunity to realize the benefits of focusing on reuse and location-efficient buildings!

[Rich Mintz @richmintz]

As I say periodically: the Manhattan bike network, for all its imperfections, is an order of magnitude better than it was a decade ago

[Vox @voxdotcom]

How many pedestrian deaths will it take to get the US to take the problem seriously? https://t.co/V2dXeTOVDX

[Jennie Chamberlain @Twoalpacas]

@Streetfilms Great use of their time... I mean what else could a DOT be doing? There's so little to do in the world of transportation. Everything basically just works.

[David Zipper @DavidZipper]

New study of e-bike rebates finds that the average recipient reduced their CO₂ emissions by 12-44 kg/month. That's roughly equivalent to 30-110 miles/month of driving.

Not too shabby!
