We’re standing by New York advocates and transit riders today. Congestion pricing was a bold policy to reduce emissions and fund public transit. Cities around the nation and world were looking to New York to lead; cutting this program will impact us all.

HUGE shoutout to @transitapp for boosting our call action to hundreds of thousands of riders all across the city! If @GovKathyHochul thinks she's heard the last of riders who are FURIOUS about this $15B backstab, let us be very clear—we're just getting started.

#TransitEquityDay was Saturday, February 4th and we’re fighting for transit systems that serve everyone–workers, riders, community members. #TransitEquity means giving transit workers the resources and respect they need to do their jobs.

Here's your lunch time 30 second good deed: sign in pro. Black homeownership was restricted through racist lending (redlining) and regulations (convents) in Seattle and around the country. Impacts linger to this day, with less inter-generational and 1/2 homeownership rates.

Denver pedestrians and wheelchair users no longer will risk receiving a municipal ticket if they choose to cross a city street mid-block as opposed to using a crosswalk at an intersection.

Our largest-ever investment in transit. Fare-free service for every child. Accessible infrastructure to walk, roll, and bike. Support for Tribal transportation. Healthy salmon passages. Fleet electrification. The legislature just passed #MoveAheadWA — and it's transformative.

The parts of #MoveAheadWA we support most would be funded through CCA. Those funds are already in place — but that doesn’t mean they're safe.

#MoveAheadWA provides incredible, accessible options 🚍 to our communities while making sure that the cost isn’t on working families. This is an issue I’ve been working on since day 1 at #waleg and I’m so excited to see it prioritized in this proposal 🥳

Replying to @SenMarkoLiias
#MoveAheadWA responds to harm we've caused in diverse communities who are impacted by past planning decisions, pollution, and a lack of accessible options to get around by investing in Tribal mobility grants and putting money towards connecting communities
