An @ottosipe in the wild recuperating from another week of putting patients above big pharma.
There are a lot of reasons to love bikeshare in London, mainly it’s safe, efficient, and even faster than a Lamborghini @ottosipe for proof.
"NACTO has a three-word recommendation designed to boost transit ridership and reduce transportation impacts on the climate: Move that bus!" bus.www.masstransitmag.com/b…
Very proud of the @NACTO team and agency working group involved. The more we dug, the more incredible examples we found of service, design, and policy initiatives to quickly transform bus service.
#MoveThatBus is the climate solution we’ve been waiting for.
Our new report is an action plan for how to transform buses by offering all-day bus service, redesigning streets to prioritize bus service, and adopting local policy reforms that support transit–and how to do it quickly.

We were looped into very engaging thread about car traffic happening in LA this holiday week. Thanks for the math, @WarrenJWells!
But we must add something key: we think we can and will do much better than 30 minutes going forward.

We have witnessed two systems of justice: one that let extremists storm the U.S. Capitol yesterday, and another that released tear gas on peaceful protestors last summer. It’s simply unacceptable.
If the Senate fails to pass $32B for transit, transit runs the risk of collapsing and the 2.8M essential workers who commute by transit could lose access to jobs that are essential to our economy and daily lives. We need transit to survive the pandemic. #SaveTransit #SaveJobs
Public transit keeps the country moving and drives our economy. We need $32 billion in federal funding to get riders moving and to #SaveJobs #SaveTheEconomy #SaveTransit @RidersAlliance @ForAJustSociety

🧵: Today, the narrative has been that Black folks aren’t out here leading in the work—and specifically on #NYCBudgetJustice. Here are 10 Black folks whose organizing & leadership have paved the way for all the “new folks” to follow (in no particular order)...
Your district has multiple marches, protests, vigils, rallies and more EVERYDAY and you couldn't take a stand in that craft closet and vote no to actually #DefundNYPD !? We see you @StephenLevin33 and will hold you accountable to be better next opportunity. #NYCBudgetJustice

We need #NYCBudgetJustice now! Transit is a lifeline and cutting programs like this for communities that are already adversely vulnerable to unemployment, COVID-19, and police violence while failing to lay-off racist & violent officers is criminal.
#FairFares is a lifeline for 200,000 subway and bus riders living in poverty. It holds great promise for half a million more eligible New Yorkers, especially at a time when so many are struggling to make ends meet. ...

The universal advice that public transit is dangerous during Covid appears to be wrong. I have to wonder if this idea spread so fast only because it fits with prevailing anti-urban cultural prejudices. @JSadikKhan @transitcenter theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…
