Very excited that these bike share equity 2-pagers are making our research more accessible! Check them out on @betterbikeshare's new website!Thanks to @betterbikeshare and @TRECpdx for supporting the work! @johnmacpdx @joebroach
We launched a new website!! 🎉🥳 As your one-stop-shop for bike share resources and grants, we just made it easier for you to see the latest equity research, toolkits, stories and more! To see our brand new look, start with @TRECpdx's bike share briefs 😍

“I mean, we’re paying people not to work,” Mr. Kudlow said on CNN. “It’s better than their salaries would get." -guy talking about less than $30k/yr. Sounds like a problem with the salaries not the benefits...
Boundaries are hard. Easy to say "all the streets in Portland" but behind that are choices about: which source (OpenStreetMap), which Portland (Metro Planning Area), which "in" (intersects boundary). One answer is there are about 270k street segments in Portland (17.7km/11k mi).
Some of the clearest writing I've seen on local pandemic research & policy by @gmleunghku. Addresses data/modeling issues that make me yell at my (hopefully) muted zoom meeting window while reading news. nytimes.com/2020/04/06/opini…
Has anyone looked into the perception of these stair+elevator overcrossings for bikes (news.trimet.org/2020/01/new-…)? Are we going to regret these in 10 years? @NITC_UTC @BikePortland @FTA_DOT @trimet
They say kids change everything, but really I just wake up and have a cup of coffee like I always have.
It's the new Sellwood, man! Sometimes I don't know where I am either. @rc_coffee_co #densified
I voted ridehail (or ride-hail), but if I'm talking I say Uber or Lyft (or ubering/lyfting). I'd never ask a friend if they wanted to ride-hail. Probably says something!

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-…
The result of a fun add-on to our Family Activity Study. We occasionally sent out web maps asking which mode (bike, walk, bus, drive) was actually being used. Results helped us improve our own detection rates.
"The MNL model is the workhorse of travel demand modeling, but it has rarely been applied to GPS data processing." New paper on GPS & accelerometer data by @joebroach @JenniferDillPSU & @NWurban in Journal of Transport Geography: sciencedirect.com/science/ar… @psu_research @psu_cupa
Correcto, no motos (pero e-scooters, sí!). Es un problema muy corto / específico. más info en bikeportland.org/2019/05/21/…
