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/2020/2/25/21152β¦

I enjoyed watching the drivers receive warm cookies. I really love the lanes because they make me feel safer riding downtown
It's like a big red carpet for things that should actually be on the street. It's good we're giving transit more priority

My first experience riding an @RideRTD bus in the new dedicated lanes on 15th St. Boy its amazing how this small, low cost change helps move the bus along. Good job @DenverDOTI #transit

The passengers of my cozy #15 are talking about how nice it was that @BikeWalkBus appreciated the driver and that he deserves to be appreciated and he does a great job! Thanks @RideRTD! It's working, @00Piep @WalkDenver @NoSquish β at Denver, CO

Couldnβt help myself, walk by everyday. Bench next? #ReimagineRTD #tacticalurbanism Perhaps @Denver_Housing @Walmart @SamsClub @UPSjobs could help person sleeping out? If nothing else the carts need pickup/return? Maybe sponsored trash-service? cc

Did you know that fire trucks, snow plows, and other maintenance equipment come in sizes other than humongous? It's true! bit.ly/3aWJ8Ee

In Oct, we @BikeWalkBus raced from #Denver Union Station to Civic Station highlighting need for dedicated bus lanes. Now we have them on 15th & 17th & we're hearing the 1,000+ @RideRTD buses that get to use them are more reliable, faster. Yes @DenverDOTI! youtube.com/watch?v=MAIqFtOLβ¦
