A report prepared by @DrMarisaZapata1 and @joebroach of @psu_research in partnership with @ExploreWAPark found that people of color are under-represented among park visitors coming from within the Portland region, but the trend has improved from 2014-2017. trec.pdx.edu/news/equitable-…

Important takeaway from @PBOTinfo e-scooter report (portlandoregon.gov/transport…): while there's not a huge overlap between scooter users and cyclists, they have similar facility preferences, and can be valuable allies in pushing for safe and comfortable infrastructure.

Fun & interesting project I worked on with @KellyJClifton @joebroach #baxtershandobil Thanks to Ingrid Fish and the City of Portland @PortlandBPS for their support. #EV #electricvehicles
Tesla's are great and all but what if we prioritized getting electric vehicles to low-income people? Potentially much bigger impacts. #ElectricVehicles pdx.edu/news/node/48303
