I wanted to post a Happy #TRBAM Eve for all those who celebrate, but then realized this isn’t what it was, see you in the clouds ❄️🥶 DC

@VeronicaODavis @BuoyBeer Barrel Aged

@BIKABOUT It’s a mirage!

@kentslundberg Maybe invite someone to 🇳🇿 to talk 🚦& 🚌🚎 🤓drive.google.com/file/d/1PIREsU…

Here’s another Queen St signal problem. The red arrow phase blocks the northbound movement (delaying buses).

@UCBSafeTREC I hope you can help us get the word out on this celebration in your backyard of the (street livability) barriers and my Dad's work in what we hope will be the first of many Annual Street Livability Days!! Join us one and all! @sdpublicaffairs @SDSU @PSFA_SDSU

@AnnaZivarts How are HAWK signals accessible to the blind community?

@BoilerJacket14 Are you kidding? Every community in the USA, every contractor and engineer who works on these projects are genuinely excited opb.org/article/2024/0…

@jerryschippa I propose that the @FTA_DOT & @ITS_USDOT fund a peer review study of 🚦innovation supported by federal investments in @NACTO - from Madison to NYC there are cities making magic happen to move the 🚌🚌🚌🚌

@jerryschippa What is going on and where are your City media people?

@anomalily And I was hoping you had leadership potential! Too much 🚌🚲

I have never gotten a single traffic or parking ticket. Almost feeling left out.

@MimosasonMeade @StreetsblogUSA @NACTO My first 15 years as a consultant, I used LOS & vehicle delay because of clients. Now, we focus on creating safe intersections @Visionzeronet & focus on reducing multimodal delay

@pkoonce @StreetsblogUSA @NACTO Can you expand on this please?

"All our protocols are set up to design a road for not just the car capacity today but the car capacity twenty years in the future. They're not designing for safety; they're designing for this futuristic capacity." cal.streetsblog.org/2024/08/29/kil…

When mainstream media covers ⁦@NASEMTRB⁩ issues, it’s good to point to solid research by ⁦@dshurwitz ⁦@OregonState⁩ @itehq @apbp @nacto Allowing bicyclists to roll through stop signs doesn’t reduce safety, researchers say @oregonlive⁩ oregonlive.com/education/2024…

@ChittiMarco Visit Portland, we’ve tried…. drive.google.com/file/d/1PIREsU…

@kaseyklimes We try drive.google.com/file/d/1PIREsU…

buses should never wait at stoplights transit signal priority doesn’t get talked about much but it’s probably the cheapest way to get major (up to 27%) reductions in bus travel times

@ggraham @clmarohn Bellevue, WA is the best I have seen at having a plan for every asset and the $ to fund each now and in the future

@clmarohn Which cities are able to comfortably do this? Which are the most fragile?

If your city cannot financially sustain its essential infrastructure without outside support, your city is fragile and its future is tenuously dependent on others.

@clmarohn It is very hard to know what the cost of maintenance is, especially for new technology and even things as simple as old traffic signal poles that are outliving @aashtospeaks expectations

A well-run local government will never be surprised by the cost of maintaining their city’s essential infrastructure.

@clmarohn This is all cities in America. From parking fees to state sales taxes, user fees to regional and federal programs, all the way down to development charges, cities aren’t doing it “without outside support”

@iamrevnat @trimet That’s a compact lot for a 🚌

Teaching my kid to drive in @trimet Park & Ride parking lot and it has become increasingly clear that it’s unfortunate we built for only the commute peak hours. With trains stopping for no one on the platform, it does not make for competitive transit speeds or attractive service

@DocAppleyard I think that’s too practical and would be a bad look TBH, better to win outright

Now that Harris has chosen Walz as her VP, Biden should resign making Harris president and able to run as an incumbent. Why mess around? What do you think?
