Our new study in @Elsevier looked at the link between perceived and actual #trafficrisk in small #Texas towns. We found drivers don't always accurately judge high crash zones. Demographics and infrastructure features were important predictors. #roadsafety

New article now available from @axios Detroit on e-bikes (tinyurl.com/45adm2b7). With unreliable transit and worsening air quality in #Detroit, e-bikes are becoming a popular alternative for transportation. @mobilitymi #TransportationAlternative #SustainableMobility 🌱🚴♀️
The University of Michigan seeks Metro Detroit #ebike riders to join a safety study. Ride your e-bike 30-45 min & earn $75! Contact [email protected]. Help shape local e-bike use & transportation in your community. Limited opportunity! #detroit #micromobility #BikeTwitter
Interesting new article from @transportpolicy on #ebike rebate programs. One notable finding was that ebikes replaced car trips! @DavidZipper #ebikes #micromobility #ActiveTravel
New study of e-bike rebates finds that the average recipient reduced their CO₂ emissions by 12-44 kg/month. That's roughly equivalent to 30-110 miles/month of driving.
Not too shabby!

Researchers from the University of Michigan invite people riding e-bikes in the #Detroit metro area to participate in an e-bike safety study. If you own an e-bike and are interested in our #ebike riding exercise, contact us at [email protected]. #metrodetroit #micromobility
#ebikes continue to out sell cars in the U.S. Planners and researchers alike need to remain steadfast on promoting safe #ebicycling for all. #Equity #sustainabletransportation @BrentToderian #transportationplanning #ActiveTravel
E-cars were 9% of car sales in 2022, and the e-car fleet was under 17 million worldwide.
E-bike sales were at 275 million.
Politicians and policy-makers, stop ignoring e-bikes. Via @treehugger treehugger.com/stop-ignoring…

Just a few years ago, micromobility experienced rapid expansion, contraction, and everything in between. Now cities are taking it seriously. Despite the pandemic, momentum is building for #micromobility. #SharedMobility #LastMileSolutions #BikeShare #ebike shorturl.at/xDFU9
Now this must be why #escooters are hated by some #pedestrians. How hard is it to park an #escooter properly? #escooterissues #escooterkrakow #parkingkrakow #escooterchallenge #krakowescooter
Extremely excited to be in #Warsaw as a #VisitingProfessor and work with my awesome colleague @Kasia_Iwinska. We'll investigate the link between #activetravel and #proenvironmentbehavior. #SustainableDevelopment #cycling #Poland @CollegiumC @umflintored
Does walking to school with someone matter? Using #spatialanalysis, we found that accompaniment status, neighborhood, gender, parent #greenspace perception impacted a child's route selection. tinyurl.com/446amwnu
