Pooled ride-hail trips still pollute more than even private cars do.
What works? Designing streets that prioritize people walking, biking, and taking transit.
Uber and Lyft generate 70 percent more pollution than trips they displace: study theverge.com/2020/2/25/21152…

“There’s no question that more cars equals more crashes, so it’s no surprise that streets where people and transit are prioritized over traffic aren’t just more efficient and more pleasant; they’re also much safer." nyc.streetsblog.org/2020/02/… – at Denver, CO
We agree with @UPS - Denver's current street designs are not aligned with our city's stated priorities, and that's the root cause of a lot of conflict among people trying to use the street for different purposes. – at Denver, CO
Wow, great statement from @UPS: “The curb today in most American cities is overwhelmingly devoted to single occupancy personal vehicle parking, which is simply unsustainable and not aligned with most cities’ stated transportation priorities” freightwaves.com/news/ups-hi…
“Encouraging public transit is a very, very good way of reducing the burden of motor injuries.” #BetterBuses #VisionZero

Sometimes construction creates temporary road diets, like this one at 13th and Kalamath. The snow nicely marks out space that could be reclaimed for people walking and biking. We visited at 5 pm and traffic was moving smoothly. Maybe make it permanent @DenverDOTI? – at Denver, CO
Hey look! 👀 A brand new sidewalk on W 13th Ave, with a tree lawn too! Now if we could just do this faster than 1/2 a block at a time. #DenverDeservesSidewalks – at Denver, CO
81 pedestrians and 14 bicyclists have been killed on Denver's streets from 2013 to the present, including 16 pedestrians on Federal Blvd alone. #ItsTimeToFixFederal #NoMoreTrafficDeaths #VisionZero

Thanks @denverparksrec for clearing the paths in the parks - made for a delightful walking commute today! Now if you could do something about that dead end on the Lakewood Gulch trail with no detour . . .
Look at all that space that could be dedicated for people walking and taking the bus! #streetsareforpeople – at Denver, CO
