@DC_OCA @BarredinDC @DCDPW Appreciate the work and the announcements you have done today and in the past on X. It would be helpful if DC government could publish these figures somewhere online.

@BarredinDC @DCDPW We have a DPW scofflaws enforcement team! They track locations cars have gotten tickets to identify travel patterns. So luck of timing is an issue. We've also visited residential areas of the cars' owners. But if car is on private property, we can't tow it.
English
We agree!
📌FY 2026 YTD, @DCDPW has impounded 3,500 cars with total of $20M in unpaid citations
📌Of those, 1,753 were "high-value scofflaws" (cars with more than $3k in unpaid citations) that owed $18M in unpaid tickets
📌Additional impound lot was opened to hold influx of cars

@maustermuhle Thanks. Is there a public link that doesn’t charge for download?

NEWS: @MayorBowser has very unexpectedly released a report @DDOTDC finished five years ago on what implementing congestion pricing in D.C. would look like. She had refused to make it public since it was done, but now calls congestion pricing "the wrong policy at the wrong time."

@DornJab @DanRiffle Yes. That housing option is of considerable value - it’s also difficult to imagine that affordability can be secured if commanders will act as an additional income generating middle man between the city and developers.
English
@DanRiffle Damn. Did you see that the team also get control of a 60 year lease on the entertainment, housing, commercial districts for like $1 too?

At DC transportation forum in response to question from @AdamTuss, DDOT director Sharon Kershbaum says bus efficiency is up 20 to 30 percent since adding bus only lanes; tickets for cars in the bus lane are down 50 percent since start

Florida Ave sucks bc it's a pinch point btwn NW&NE w/ too many cars for anybody—including drivers—to use easily.
We could make it *actually work* if we embraced the most space-efficient mode & gave the 90 bus a bona fide transitway.

Happy 14th birthday CaBi. I say this every year but I truly believe it is the best thing to happen to biking in DC. We are so lucky to have such a robust and popular publicly owned system that continues to grow and innovate every year
Here’s to the next 14 years #bikedc

Guy with 80+ tickets for speeding & running🚦says the kid in a crosswalk with broken toes & tire marks “hit his car” & that his driving record “is irrelevant.”
It’s a great example of drivers who do not expect accountability. The STEER Act changes that. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/…

💯 On Monday, a child was struck in a crosswalk in Ward 6 by a driver swerving around a car at 🚦, leaving her with broken toes & tire marks on her leg. He was simply issued a ticket, even with his 80+ speeding tickets/$18K+ in fines he owes. He shouldn’t be driving in DC. 1/2

The Hill is Home@theHillisHome
A common thread for parents getting their children across town is just how dangerous crossing the street can be. Rage, aggression, threats, honking, you name it: parents and guardians have seen and heard it all and it doesn’t change year in and year out.

Disappointing to see unprotected bike lanes proposed by @VaDOT for a bridge with 17,000 ADT and a posted speed limit of 35 mph
Guidance from @USDOTFHWA or @NACTO (and presumably the forthcoming @aashtospeaks bike guide) says this should have at least buffers @BikeWalkRVA
