Wearing red for rail safety today? You red our minds! Some lines are meant to be crossed (double denim, power clashing, wearing this much red post-4th of July) and others, like tracks with gates down, are not. Visit oli.org to learn more #SeeTracksThinkTrain.
Our #DataStories last week was focused on tracking transit 🚌📊 I hope next month's is called "Bus-ting into Rail Data," just so each one includes both our favorite modes, but the only way to find out is to subscribe. Visit our website to learn more.
It's #CarFreeDay, and at DRPT we celebrated the best way we know how: by hopping on a bus 🚌and walking around Richmond 🏙️. We had #NoCarsNoProblems and can't wait for our next transit-oriented daytrip, which I'm pretty sure is what TOD stands for, right y'all?
It's #SeeTracksThinkTrainWeek. We all have a part to play if we want to #STOPTrackTragedies. Learn more about how to stay safe around rails by visiting oli.org.
