For #TransitEquityDay, we released a report with @LN4S called Working Families Ride the Bus. #Union members and workers from all over the country shared their experiences with the ways that transit—or lack or transit options—affects everything (1/)

I joined an incredible @TransitColumbus meeting last night and was truly inspired to see so many people in a room ready to get to work now that the @LinkusColumbus funding is a reality. Kudos to my longtime friend @steviemoraa for facilitating. 🚌

Let's talk sidewalks. This street doesn't have any. Posted speed limit of 35, and if someone was going 35 it was to slow down for a stop. At those speeds, particularly with a truck or SUV, an impact would almost certainly be fatal. It's not just about convenience. 👏 – at Columbus, OH

Another awesome happy hour panel with @TransitColumbus @ @cypclub on @LinkusColumbus initiative and Issue #47, which will chart our region’s future: more @COTABus service, new rapid transit lines, 500+ miles of sidewalks and bike lanes and trails, and more. Voting has begun!

Private cars move far too few people. The average car has just 1.5 people in it (and closer to 1.1 during rush hour). The goal should be to move people efficiently, not cars. That means converting space we’ve given to cars into other uses: Wider sidewalks. Bike lanes. Bus lanes.
Unpopular take, but: Toronto traffic isn't going to get better. This project might get done or that issue sorted out, but it's still going to be slow. The days of driving fast in this city are long past

Honored that @TransitColumbus asked me to turn my thread on the killing of Seanna Groce into an expanded article and publish it on their website. You can read it here: transitcolumbus.org/blog/why…
Another day, another vulnerable road user killed by car/driver violence, and another significant media outlet (@DispatchAlerts) blaming the victim and omitting important information and crucial connections that tell a larger story of public policy failure. (1/17)

Look at how much businesses suffer when you take away cars and parking from their street! The Travesty!

“The school drop-off line is the fruit of a long-term shift away from walking and biking to school, which about half of U.S. kids did in 1969, but fewer than 1 in 10 do today. The lines leave a wreath of pollution around school sites.” 🏫🚗🚙 @henrygrabar slate.com/business/2024/09/s… – at Berlin, Germany

Went to two different public forums last night for @LinkusColumbus - I'm getting pretty excited about what this will mean for Columbus. It's some of the most forward-looking policy our City has ever considered.
