So after some delay, I can finally show what I have been doin' in my spare time to keep myself sane! I present to you all a map of the Pacific Electric's passenger services of Summer 1937, as can best be surmised. Link will be below for a better quality version. #pacificelectric
A Friday reminder to tell our elected leaders that #WeWantStreetcar by @LA28! @MayorOfLA @metrolosangeles @HildaSolis @RepJimmyGomez @kdeleon @SantiagoAD53 @SenMariaEDurazo @RickCarusoLA @KarenBassLA

I've been sitting on this long enough..so... I've been playing around with illustrator and created a couple transit maps for a "what if" idea I may want to expand upon in future. So I present to you the SCRTD in 1984 #transit #maps #LosAngeles

“A bet on downtown Los Angeles.” A planned $1.6-billion project next to Angel’s Flight funicular — which would have two hotels, plus apartments, condos and retail — has cleared a key hurdle at the city, @rogervincent reports: latimes.com/business/story/2…

For @KCET’s #LostLA episode about the #PacificElectric, I wrote about a few places to find remnants of the Red Car system, including old depots in #Lynwood & #NorthHollywood: kcet.org/shows/lost-la/where…

Instead of paying people to own cars, pay them to use transit. Instead of spending $9B enabling our fossil fuel addiction, use it to make public transit PERMANENTLY FREE not just for 3 months. Where is your climate leadership here, @GavinNewsom?
Did you know: the CPUC regulates railroad interfaces with the public (including street railways like #LAStreetcar) and is the @FTA_DOT -designated “state safety oversight”.

Tell @metrolosangeles to not INCREASE their highway budget next year in a climate crisis! Demand that they reduce their highway budget and increase investments in transit and biking.

We are hearing that @GavinNewsom @CAgovernor will be announcing a budget proposal to make transit free for three months to encourage more transit ridership as an alternative to driving polluting and $$ 🚗. Can anyone confirm? @GovPressOffice @KQEDnews @johnmyers

Announcing Healthy Streets LA, a ballot measure mandating that @LACity implement its own Mobility Plan when repaving streets. Despite @LACityCouncil passing the plan in 2015, only 3% has been implemented (in 7 years!) It's time for a paradigm shift. healthystreetsla.com

2022 #kcstreetcar ridership is trending higher than this time a year ago. In nearly 6 years of service, streetcar passenger trips are closing in on 10 million. WOW!

Did you ever wonder when people are riding the #kcstreetcar & where they are going? How about where they board from? The @UnionStationKC & @TheCityMarketKC stops are the most frequented and Saturday ridership tends to be the highest.
