If anyone wants to help the bike bus movement by offering some free Canva templates for graphic-design-challenged moms to just throw one together for their next bike bus that would be great!

The amount of clip art of people riding bikes looking free and ...without helmets.... you'd think it might clue people into the fact that people don't actually want to wear helmets, they want bike riding to be fun and safe.

All I want is to find the emails where I wrote out my bike train routes last time and why does Google make it SO HARD TO FIND old emails.....?!!!

Attended the Medford MA CACHE arts citywide summit yesterday and I am pleased to report that 'transportation' in the city was mentioned by 4-5 out of 10 small table discussion groups (not just my table!)
The arts needs transit in a city!

There is a Mass. Transportation meeting about improvements at South and Main St., Medford MA on May 8, and it would be pretty great if you could come and offer your two cents about making it as safe and convenient as possible for those on bikes, foot and buses. mass.gov/event/medford-…

It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor Caroline Fohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, 'What are you doing?' That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.

How do you tell this is real in 2024?

My city spends $400K on school buses every year.
The city is four miles across at its widest points.

In Tokyo, there is no off street parking requirement for housing. However there is a requirement to show you have a parking spot with half a mile if you want to own a car. This transfers the cost of car storage to car owners, as it should be.

Or if you are a governor, maybe decide to just back up your Secretary of Transportation when she makes a suggestion to institute user fees for people who moved to NH to avoid MA taxes, but want to use our roads every day to access MA salaries.

'Earth Day' just feels like a sad joke to me after 40 years of caring about the environment and our future. Just don't mention it to me. Go for a walk or take a bus or decide not to order that stupid thing on Amazon that you don't need, instead.

Next time you say 'I don't care about Biden or Trump,' just remember you could make a real difference helping get a complete psychotic bozo out of your state house.

And how making off-road bike paths that wind behind train tracks, trapping you between two chain link fences for a half mile, means that no woman will want to ride home on it at night alone.

The “no free stuff” crowd seems very upset about the idea of paying tolls for the roads they use

You could, also, you know, buy less crap that you don't need.

Good to hear that, while Gov. Healey may not support new tolls, “embattled” Secretary Tibbits-Nutt has her backing. Tantrums thrown by Howie Carr, Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance et al. whenever new revenue sources are discussed hint at why MBTA is a national embarrassment. bostonglobe.com/2024/04/22/met…

As chair of a local transportation committee and member of a federal one, I've seen Monica's work up close for almost a decade. She's brilliant. America's car-centric transportation policy is bad for cities & towns, bad for budgets, and bad for the environment. The Secretary is…

The solution to climate change is not to make everyone buy an EV car. It's to try to get people out of cars, to own fewer cars, and to offer alternatives that center people over vehicles.

Also true of a LOT of people who call themselves 'progressive.'

Ok, Trump bad.... really bad, for climate.

But what's Biden's plan to match the yellow line? Because he's not reaching it either.
