Don’t follow me anywhere else. Just remember that there are no good transportation solutions to bad land use decisions.

Recently completed demonstration projects to provide safer routes to schools across San Mateo County. Pictured here are projects from East Palo Alto, San Mateo, & Daly City. With each meant to last at least 1 month, feedback will inform more permanent designs! #tacticalurbanism

5% of people ride bicycles, so we can't do anything for them.

5% of people drive electric cars, so we're planning a national charging network.

Game changer!

[Senator Scott Wiener @Scott_Wiener]

BREAKING: @GavinNewsom signed into law our bill expediting approval of light rail, rapid bus, bike & pedestrian safety projects.

SB 922 allows communities to get these sustainable transportation projects - critical for climate action, safety & mobility - on the ground faster.

[Jeff Knowles @knoja]

@BikeLeague @USDOT At a minimum, 40% of the awarded projects funded bicycle improvements. 2022 saw an 84% increase in awarded projects from 2021 thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

My brother conducted 400 daily calls with experts to understand the pandemic and how we respond to it. Proud of him in creating this historical record.

It’s here - North America’s FIRST ALL #electric engine has arrived in #LosAngeles. I got to test it out. It’s quiet, has a tight turning radius, smaller width, and most importantly will reduce harmful emissions. Tomorrow is the public unveiling at FS 82 in #Hollywood.

@WalkNBikeMom What were your stats about individual conversations held by CBOs versus meeting attendees?

[Jeff Knowles @knoja]

@hyphy_republic @constans @chemmefatale @WarrenJWells From interviewing folks on the block, we learned that high speed, cut through traffic and drive-by shootings were the two main safety concerns. Traffic diverters were welcomed by residents to help address both. Bottom line: Slow Streets alone wasn't cutting it for this group.

[Jeff Knowles @knoja]

@hyphy_republic @constans @chemmefatale @WarrenJWells This is fair criticism and I cannot speak for East Oakland. I worked with an organized group of Ney Avenue residents last year who wanted the Slow Streets to do more and the City is now putting in more permanent traffic calming. https://t.co/o9IecHouwL

Advocates want $2 billion more for California Active Transportation Program. Governor's budget proposal gets halfway there according to @railstotrails. Up to Assembly. #calbikesummit
