ModeScore is pleased to announce its collaboration with CBRE Romania, supporting sustainable transport certification across the Romanian real estate market. A strong step for better-connected buildings, practical mobility improvements and lower-carbon travel choices. #ModeScore

Transport is responsible for over 1 in 10 deaths from #airpollution worldwide. While #electrification is key, this 2025 ITDP study with FIA Foundation shows that shifting trips away from cars is just as critical, cutting harmful pollutants like PM2.5 that electric vehicles can’t solve. For the first time, this study quantifies how different #transport futures will shape national #airquality outcomes through 2050. Explore the findings 👉 itdp.org/publication/ai…

Hitting every green light? Not magic. Signal timing. We're expanding Green Wave corridors, allowing cyclists & drivers traveling around 15 mph to catch successive greens. Reduces red light running, improves safety, and has little impact on daytime traffic speeds.

The most important thing about this amazing Paris transformation is how fast it happened —how fast people on bikes “appeared” —once streets were transformed. You can’t write this off as “#Paris was always this way,” because it wasn’t. It took leadership.

Oslo had 41 road deaths in 1975. By 2019, that number was one: a single driver who hit a fence. Oslo effectively ended road deaths by redesigning its downtown for people instead of cars. They removed 700 street parking spaces and replaced them with 37 miles of protected bike lanes and pocket parks. They lowered speed limits inside and outside the city. Many streets to car traffic entirely. They created "heart zones" around every elementary school where cars can't pick up or drop off kids. Did it kill the city? Nope. Retail sales at shops went up. Kids started walking and biking to school unsupervised. Air quality improved measurably and traffic congestion got better because fewer people wanted to drive through a pedestrianized downtown. Every piece of Oslo's strategy is available to any American city that wants it. The problem is solved, now we just need to implement it.

“If we can break the assumption public space is for the movement and storage of cars, a new paradigm can be opened. This isn't theoretical—it's being implemented in global cities from different starting points with the same outcomes: vibrant spaces, streetscapes and communities."

Very interesting new study finding that *even in large European cities*, in most places it is easier to access opportunities by car than by public transport arxiv.org/pdf/2604.01019 The exceptions are Paris, Zurich and the innermost parts of Milan and Barcelona

For decades, the bicycle—once synonymous with Chinese urban life—has been pushed to the margins in Guangzhou. As car usage surged, bike infrastructure was neglected. But today the city is staging an assertive return to two wheels, this time with policy and planning behind it.🧵

We're transforming London. Our network of Cycleways has grown from 90km to over 430km today. And with a network of safe cycleways, cycling is booming - with an average of 1.5m trips a day. And there's much more to come 🚲🚲🚲 #LondonLovesCycling
