I've met many people who say that California's 2020 orange sky day was the moment they understood what a warming world really looks like. It was a wake up call. Some changed careers. Others got politically involved. Maybe this week is that moment for people on the East Coast.

Paris has been a city choking in cars for a very long time. And to be clear, most of it still is — there’s only so much that ANY city can change in a few years. But the transformation in urban biking that HAS occurred has been REMARKABLE. HT @BricePerrin

Bicyclists suffer more severe injuries when they're struck by SUVs than when they're hit by cars because the point of impact is higher, a recent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) study shows. trib.al/WtLV7PN

Todays worldwide #KidicalMass illustrates that the call for more child-friendly streets does not come from a small minority. Look at the kids and parents having a party! Music and laughter instead of #VroomVroom 📹 of #Barcelona by @jordihoney xitter.cf/i/status/1655214735720…

This state is a joke.
Tomorrow, 57 flights will serve Dallas and Houston, metros 240 miles from each other. Madrid and Barcelona are both smaller and further apart, and see 20+ high-speed rail trains in both directions. The government should fund the Texas Bullet Train project and make it public.

Below is the mobility pyramid showing the share of mobility modes by majority of people in any society. It is fair if infrastructure investment is also proportional to this. However it is just opposite and governments end up investing most in car friendly infrastructure.

Bogotá has long been a shining example of BRT, but now it's thinking bigger. Under Mayor Claudia López, the city will expand its impressive #cycle network and construct new #transit lines to improve #sustainability, #accessibility, and #equity. Read: ow.ly/aevj50O9gmR
