And an editorial article by my co-authors and me came out today too in @ConversationUS

Excited to announce a new paper on #ebike incentives and their effectiveness at stimulating adoption. TL;DR agencies should think clearly to pair goals of a program with the costs of moving the needle on e-bike adoption. @johnmacpdx @LEVresearch @UTKCTR sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

A new paper that may be a little more interesting in light of the #MUTCD controversy on funny messages. "Emotionally charged advertisements" do a little bit more distracting than "neutral" advertising. @cee_utk @UTKCTR

@deadeyebrakeman We need one of these for college campuses too.

I want to thank the community for helping me track the cost of Chex Mix in US airports . together we're gonna figure this whole thing out

UPDATE: here's what we have so far. As a scientist I can only assume everybody stuck to 8oz. I threw out data that had bad vibes. btw I got a C in statistics

@JacobYan3 @myTDOT @UTKCTR In this case, most of growth by people struck by cars- not trucks or SUVs (though crashes are more severe when pedestrians are struck by those types of vehicles).
English
Hot off the press. Pedestrian deaths have tripled in TN in about a decade. Almost all growth in urban areas, high speed arterials, when struck by drivers of sedans, at night (with lighting). Got a lot of work to do on urban arterials @myTDOT @UTKCTR

I printed a bunch of decks for my transportation policy class a couple of years ago. It was an awesome game to play in class.

People talk about signs being band aids used to limit liability. When we unevenly apply signs, we create an expectation that everything of similar risk should have a sign. When it doesn’t, I expect that we would open agencies up to more liability. The solution? More signs. 3/3
English
Signs are safety devices. They need to be noticed and they should have approximately equal weight. Some signs are really important, but we’ve been conditioned to ignore them all at our own (and others’) peril. @BikeWalk_TN 2/

#Civilengineers are obsessed with performative signage. Instead of focusing on actual safety improvements, they install signs that have no meaning and could actually make safety worse in the system. All to say they're doing something. @CityKnoxvilleTN @KnoxvilleParks 1/

Another ebike pilot to watch!

#HeyDurham, the first group of participants in the Bull E-Bike Pilot, have started their e-bike journey! Orientation for this group took place Monday evening. Keep following our journey to make trips across the Bull City more sustainable. #BullEBikePilot #WayToGoDurham

@DavidZipper @CityLab Great article. If the humble scooter can do it, so can the big-three. Months ago I was struck by @Tesla autopilot being tricked by the moon, but nobody was talking about its speeding (64 in 55). All the fuss about AVs and the biggest safety feature (speed) is at our fingertips.
English
No driver should be going 90 mph+ on a public road – ever. So why aren’t cars equipped with speed governors?
The technology has been available for a century. We just aren’t using it.
My latest, in @CityLab

I applaud the hard work from @pfbpolicy to classify e-bikes in a safe way. For broader classification of #micromobility, check the @SAEIntl standard J3194 that catches most microvehicles. Policymakers have language to decide where they fit. @johnmacpdx

The 3 class electric bicycle definition helps keep riders + consumers safe. We've been working for seven years to advance the definition of an e-bike across states and most recently, the @USDOT (included in infrastructure bill). @StreetsblogUSA usa.streetsblog.org/2022/08/03/wha…
