Inspired by cities with real, expansive transit systems, I’ve created an updated @CATSRideTransit fantasy map. It consists of Light Rail, Streetcars, Commuter Rail, Amtrak, BRT, and monorail.
Below is an Area Map, a System Map, and an Uptown reference map.

"The Finnish capital has not experienced a single pedestrian fatality in the past 12 months, thanks to Vision Zero.

Given these successes, to quit Vision Zero and succumb to failure is a death sentence for thousands — especially children."

Is this the most cowardly DQ in high school XC history? After a rival coach waited for the race to start so he could turn him in, a HS XC runner was DQ'd for wearing a screenless Whoop strap while half the field was allowed to wear GPS watches. Meanwhile in Utah, Jane Hedengren's little sister was stripped of her state title as her brother ran outside the ropes to cheer. The rulebooks are broken. Thoughts? https://t.co/NN6AOIYRnx

The average price of a new car in the US has reached $51,000. When they say "cars are freedom" they certainly don't mean financial freedom.

The county estimates at least 800 gallons made their way into the water. The county says any potential fines will be determined after the full scope of the incident has been evaluated.

People don’t need another lane.

They need a sidewalk to their friend’s house.

[Joe Bruno @JoeBrunoWSOC9]

Charlotte City Council unanimously voted to spend $1.9 million on intersection improvements at these 7 locations. The money is coming from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Safe Streets and Roads for All Grant Program.

The 7 projects will see:
Rectangular rapid-flashing beacons
Upgraded accessibility and pedestrian safety signals
Enhanced curb ramps, sidewalks, curb and gutter, and pavement markings.
