Hey @BIKETOWNpdx: is it still possible to unlock a bike without a smartphone?

New article just published on Community Transportation Academies (CTAs), including launching the Wasatch Transportation Academy in SLC based on the long-running Portland Traffic and Transportation class. https://t.co/Z42XgI1pXd

Yeah, @Twitter. I’m not gonna do this for you. 🤷

Why does #DaylightSaving having to take an hour from my Sunday? Can’t we all agree it should take an hour out of Monday instead, like maybe skipping from 4 to 5 pm?

The @NITC_UTC reception is definitely a highlight, saying hello to old friends @NWurban & asking @repblumenauer how the 🚲🚦on the new Bridge is doing #TRBAM

Just purged my follows and imagine I'll be deactivating Twitter in the near future. Regardless I'll shift to posting more transportation and research related stuff over at LinkedIn (https://t.co/CMZntnzoJX). Open to suggestions on other places to enegage!

Had a great time exploring SF with @baywheels and this cutie the past few days. Some great bike infrastructure all over town. Nice work @transpocrat!

The long-running @portland_state @PBOTinfo Portland Traffic & Transportation class has been replicated in Salt Lake City, and the successful community academy model is being adapted for other regions too. Learn more in a @NITC_UTC Webinar Thursday Oct 20: https://t.co/7wr07qmMFJ

There's a giant motorcade rolling through Portland. Anyone know what for?

[Nathan McNeil 🚲 mas.to/@mcneil @NWurban]

@DrTaraGoddard They do make you stick to the immediate point in Findings! I look forward to seeing the next paper!

[Nathan McNeil 🚲 mas.to/@mcneil @NWurban]

Nice work @DrTaraGoddard! Beyond people being priced out of safety, I wonder about the impacts of the negative safety externalities on lower income communities (maybe offset by the likely negative correlation with vehicle size?)

[Greg GRIFFIN 🚵🏼📚 @gregpgriffin.bsky.social @gregpgriffin]

New research from @DrTaraGoddard and team shows that blind spot detection, automatic emergency braking, and forward collision warning are less likely to be included in less-expensive vehicle packages. https://t.co/GLdsIEyclB

Inaugural commute ride on @trimet's FX2. Time to get back on transit!

[NITC @NITC_UTC]

How can community members become more engaged in transportation decision making?

The Wasatch Transportation Academy at @UUtah was piloted in 2022, supported by NITC and in consultation with @UtahGOPB @UtahDOT @rideUTA @SLCoGov @SLCgov & @WasatchCouncil.

@BikePortland Re Mt Tabor arson case at Mt Tabor NA meeting. From Jason Anderson at @PDXFire: "active investigation" but "behavior should be curbed"

[Nathan McNeil 🚲 mas.to/@mcneil @NWurban]

@BikePortland This post from Portland Fire and Rescue from last night hints that their investigation has somehow reduced the arson risk. I assume they'll address that at the meeting tonight.
