New report finds that over 8,000 pedestrians were killed on US roadways in 2022.

Jimmy Carter was president the last time that happened.

(1/2) Attn customers: Metro is an open-air system, so the air quality you see outside may also be visible in our stations. Metro's trains and buses are equipped with advanced filtration systems that remove approx. 98% of pollutants on a constant basis. #wmata

@BarredinDC One note is that boarding starts about 20 mins before departure if the train is originating at WAS or NYP. But if it’s coming from farther north/south you can cut it closer.

We’re only ONE WEEK AWAY from the opening of the Potomac Yard Station🔵🟡! What are you most excited for about your newest station? #wmata #YourMetro

Once known as the “City of Trees,” #WashingtonDC has amazing native flora, enhanced by tree species brought to the city from around the world. On #ArborDay, every day & every season, we'll celebrate them all.🌳🌳🌳

47 years ago, on this date in 1976, @wmata Metrorail service began operating

@travelingali @NickAddamo I went for sunset and the cars were still bumper to bumper. None of them were going to find a parking space in time to actually walk around the Tidal Basin! (side note - did the entire region go today?)

If you are going to #CherryBlossomFestival remember that @wmata 🚇🚌 or 🚴‍♂️🚶🧑‍🦽are not ‘alternatives’ but actually the primary way to go…sitting in joy draining traffic for hours is the alternative. Enjoy your Sunday! 🌸🌸 #wmata

Sunrise at the Tidal Basin this morning.

@beyonddc @AlexWestEndRes The Mon Incline is actually served by the T and is also a short walk across the Smithfield St Bridge from Downtown. It gets more use by locals.

@beyonddc @ajfroggie Fifth & Forbes provide a direct connection between two major activity centers (Downtown and Oakland) and at least when I was in H.S. had pretty robust bus service.

@DrUrbanPolicy @betterDCregion Congrats, Rodney! So sorry I missed the meeting!

[Lee Farmer 🌻 @soozili]

YES

COLD TAKE: Snowfall is not "bad" weather.

Quit talking about how bad the storm is going to be and start talking about how good it's going to be.

@justvikki I’m hoping my plane gets in tomorrow morning but after that I’m not going outside until Tuesday.

@JortsTheCat @diannaeanderson When I lived in Ireland, my flatmates used to get really excited about fageeta night.

Let the cold air in DC tonight be enough to rid of us these mosquitoes 🙏🏾
