Today’s @MARTAtransit #CQ400 railcar event off to a good start — my ride to South Yard is the holiday bus!
Great update from MARTA on the #CQ400 railcars w/ detailed interior mockups/renderings, including the open gangways, wheelchair & bike areas, and rider info screens. This was such a fun project to work on – can't wait to ride one!

For this final day of early voting, we'll put in a bid for the polling location at Fulton County Govt Center at 130 Peachtree St.
It's a short walk from the Five Points MARTA Station! Transit Oriented Democracy😉
(BTW, there's an indoor waiting area, no standing in the cold.)
I remember well the stop that used to be here; it had a shelter and was very busy. Removing the main MARTA bus stop serving our Amtrak station in favor of a turn lane for cars remains one of the saddest decisions I've witnessed as an Atlanta transit person.
Weekend project: building a home @MARTAtransit arrival board using MARTA’s train API and the @HelloTidbyt display. Still making some tweaks but hope to publish the app to the community repo shortly.

Surprise discovery walking around Midtown tonight: the new Google building has a continuous, open (as in no access control) pedestrian connection spanning the (large) block between 12th and 13th.

Today I want to spend (too much) time talking about the partially self-imposed stranglehold Georgia puts itself in regarding funding rail improvements, both passenger and freight, and some ways to address them to unlock major mobility potential within the state.

Took @Amtrak Crescent from Charlottesville, VA to Atlanta, GA this past week and I thought I would share my experience since there are plans to expand in the Southeast with Atlanta as the central hub. 🧵
