Happy to decarbonize cars but want equal enthusiasm (+ investment) for shared mobility & bike-like things. “The battery used to power GM’s Hummer EV uses ~the same lithium/rider as 3 smaller cars. 240 e-bikes [or half an e-bus]” This math doesn’t work. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

@skubly @DavidZipper Was it a desire for “power” or a desire to thoughtfully and deliberately deliver an integrated public mobility program? Asking for a friend…

@DavidZipper When with Lime, 1 "progressive" DOT director told me. "You will not put scooters on MY streets." My response. They aren't "your streets" they are the public's streets. It also showed that the desire for power/control is stronger than any policy objective.

Today e-scooter company Bird announced that it's leaving "several dozen" global markets (including entire countries like Germany). Info: theverge.com/2022/10/18/234… I received this from a friend who used to work at one of the big shared e-scooter co's.

Admittedly late posting, but pleased to see that, while not leading the pack, #Pittsburgh is above median in BOTH quality of TACOS and TRANSIT (now if we could only have pirogis as the X axis…game on) bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Transportation insecurity is 2.5x more prevalent than food insecurity. Cost, service and system fragmentation Are contributing causes. Economic mobility is the cost. We can fix this. cityfi.medium.com/universal-basi…

The tenacity of @MarimbaMillion and vision and resiliency of generations of @myhilldistrict residents, in partnership with @PghDOMI and @Pittsburgh made this grant possible. Safer streets and vibrant spaces! Tremendous!
myhilldistrict@myhilldistrict

Did you catch Hill CDC Pres and CEO, @MarimbaMillion with Mayor Gainey and Federal Administrator Pollack discussing the historic investment for the #HillDistrict? $11.3M for infrastructure from a federal #RAISEGRANT will create true impact! #RebuildOurNeighborhoods 🏗 🏗 🏗

I had a stroke. I survived it. I'm truly so grateful to still be here today. I know politics can be nasty, but even then, I could *never* imagine ridiculing someone for their health challenges.

Important investment! Buses only make up about 1% of vehicles on the road but could take 30% of other vehicles OFF the road with continued investment. The planet is worth it, no? washingtonpost.com/transportation…

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 bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
