Potentially one of the nerdiest, most wonderful articles about some unsung workers. Thank you all @PghDOMI and peers across the country! via @nytimes https://t.co/BlE1SHLucp
By all means, protect children from the harms of drag shows, but do nothing to protect them from the fatality of guns. #priorities https://t.co/H7Hgwd9VrO
Happy to decarbonize cars but want equal enthusiasm (+ investment) for shared mobility & bike-like things. “The battery used to power GM’s Hummer EV uses ~the same lithium/rider as 3 smaller cars. 240 e-bikes [or half an e-bus]” This math doesn’t work. https://t.co/BpkXCnWuVw
Had a great time riding around #pittsburgh with @PurpleClarence and @Streetfilms on a beautiful autumn day. It takes great partners (with persistence!) to do great work for safe streets! Thanks for highlighting @PghDOMI & friends! https://t.co/qKNAyxUEN9
@skubly@DavidZipper Was it a desire for “power” or a desire to thoughtfully and deliberately deliver an integrated public mobility program? Asking for a friend…
Admittedly late posting, but pleased to see that, while not leading the pack, #Pittsburgh is above median in BOTH quality of TACOS and TRANSIT (now if we could only have pirogis as the X axis…game on) https://t.co/3ABF51p9zn
Transportation insecurity is 2.5x more prevalent than food insecurity. Cost, service and system fragmentation Are contributing causes. Economic mobility is the cost. We can fix this. https://t.co/ptjE4DsWPK
Smaller, low speed electric vehicles could (should?) be a solution for the US as well - not just the global south.

The tenacity of @MarimbaMillion and vision and resiliency of generations of @myhilldistrict residents, in partnership with @PghDOMI and @Pittsburgh made this grant possible. Safer streets and vibrant spaces! Tremendous!
Did you catch Hill CDC Pres and CEO, @MarimbaMillion with Mayor Gainey and Federal Administrator Pollack discussing the historic investment for the #HillDistrict? $11.3M for infrastructure from a federal #RAISEGRANT will create true impact! #RebuildOurNeighborhoods

The City of Pittsburgh @PghDOMI (DOMI) is excited to launch a first-of-its-kind Guaranteed Basic Mobility (GBM) pilot program.

New research finds that more people experience transportation insecurity than even food insecurity. This solid research from @PghDOMI and @ridespin on the social and economic outcomes of #UBM is critically needed. https://t.co/VHNDD6SmsU
Important investment! Buses only make up about 1% of vehicles on the road but could take 30% of other vehicles OFF the road with continued investment. The planet is worth it, no? https://t.co/47vcoE4xBE
No driver should be going 90 mph+ on a public road – ever. So why aren’t cars equipped with speed governors?
The technology has been available for a century. We just aren’t using it.
My latest, in @CityLab
