"As physicians, we’ve seen the unacceptable cost imposed by pollution, a cost measured not just in dollars but in lives. We believe we owe it to families across this state to make sure they can breathe freely." Excellent op-ed from @SciNetUCS NJ members. https://t.co/XnsgGaNZqI
Great quotes from @GreenRootsEJ Barbara: "...and one of the unfortunate consequences is that these trucks pollute our air... Our city has one of the highest rates in the state for asthma and hypertension, which are associated with these pollutants." #cleantrucksnow
Great to see our @MayorEdGainey on the bus today! 🔥🔥 Join him and hundreds of other Pittsburghers for the #WeekWithoutDriving here: https://t.co/3xdW5OhgDj
There are many ways to shape our transportation system with more choices for those who need it most. One way is to support the Stronger Communities through Better Transit Act - ask your Reps to cosponsor today! https://t.co/4U7QsAGvMG
It's the #WeekWithoutDriving - and we're raising awareness alongside @americawalks + many others. Did you know that about 1/3 of people in the US don't drive and face significant barriers to getting where they need to go? It doesn't have to be this way. 🧵
In 2020, @non_drivers began documenting the experiences of non-drivers in WA state. Since then, they've challenged elected officials and other decision makers to a #WeekWithoutDriving.
Transit influencer alert! 🚌 RI General Assembly Rep. @RebeccaKislak gets around by bus, train, bike, and on foot. She is a public transit CHAMPION, advocating for support at the State House while leading by example on her daily commute. Happy #WeekWithoutDriving, Representative!
I think @GovKathyHochul could stand to watch this excellent congestion pricing FAQ video from @Tri_State.
Watch for @jaqicohen in her Mets hat. Stay for the spitting of facts. #HochulsMTA

Did you know that about 1/3 of people in the US don't drive? This week we're joining @americawalks raise awareness around the #WeekWithoutDriving. We can create a future where accessible, safe + inclusive communities work for everyone, not just for folks who can drive/own cars.
It’s really amazing to see how @AnnaZivarts @cecelia_black@americawalks@RootedInRights have made #WeekWithoutDriving a big deal nationally in a very few short years. Even if you can’t participate, there’s a big benefit to the conversations and thinking-shifts taking place!

"Our communities have never been the same. Families lost generational wealth as homes were destroyed, lost value or were taken away through foreclosure. Many people left close-knit communities forever." @BRTA_mandate@ReConnect_Rondo https://t.co/TkOc1IQ4zm
