January 2024 would be Elvis Presley's 89th birthmonth, and is the 25th anniversary of both my inauguration as an elected official and the start of my cab driving career. In commemoration, a re-print of this Oregon Humanities essay from 2010 oregonhumanities.org/rll/magazine/w…

A common sense concept that will benefit millions of people - proposed by Mayor Bloomberg in 2007 and implemented in 2024. The US takes 17 years to adopt a simple idea, because auto-oriented bias is so pervasive and our political processes are good at protecting bad status quo.

Perhaps even more impressive, MnDOT now must offset highway expansions with moves to decrease emissions and vehicle miles traveled. **This** is how you counteract sprawl and address the realities of induced demand. x.com/movemnaction/s…

idk who needs to hear this but the first and foremost environmental benefit of transit is getting people out of their cars. At the right price electric buses are great, but it's tinkering around the edges. Reliable transit that people use is what really matters.

I rode the overnight train from Kyiv to Odesa in 2005 & the most eventful thing was an old Ukrainian grandma hinting I should marry her 25 year old granddaughter, who “happened to be” in my shared compartment after they negotiated with the attendant to change assigned bunks.

Out of 24 hours, president Biden spent 20 on the train (both directions), and only 4 in Kyiv. That's why it was important for us to care about him in a proper way. And we did.
So, here is the story of @POTUS's visit to #Kyiv and how #RailForceOne was born. Grab some 🍿, @Amtrak. Danger: long 🧵 ahead.

Root problem is state law allows State Highway Dept to siphon off 50% of gas tax,without oversight on impact,cost, ROI. Leaves far less money for local gov'ts, even tho they own far more mileage of streets & do good projects people want. @KhanhPhamForOR please fix the formula!

Most transportation discourse focuses on technology & dollars, while @LaurelinTransit puts the focus on people. Unless public agencies reform their human resource practices, they won’t deliver the goods for the public. This whole series is an important read for transport folks.

Thank you @USDOT FTA Administrator Nuria Fernandez & Deputy Administrator @Veevanterpool for joining this amazing gathering of advocates in DC and sharing sage advice on resources to help local municipalities access flex funding to invest in equitable transit #TransitIsEssential
And I remember Veronica Vanterpool (always the original) for OVER 12 years.Her experiences as busdriver, organizing to restore Bronx River watershed, reforming MTA & a State DOT, riding train from Houston to LA with me & posse of 25 -now she serves the whole nation. Excelsior!

@drvolts NYT pieces are also just relentlessly focused on anything other than real-world impact: polling trends, optics, predicting future coverage and partisan attacks, etc.
@jamisonfoser Maggie Haberman's relationship with Trump meanwhile, is not at all complicated. She does cleanup for him and he gives her access (and don't believe he was angry with her last week for writing that he was sleeping--that's part of the shtick)
Induced demand is great if you like higher taxes, more congestion & longer trips. Our highway program causes decentralized land use by displacing people/business and prohibiting infill. We don't believe in stovepipes of excellence @SmartGrowthUSA. Transpo and land use interact.
@T4America Induced demand is good. It means that people are going where they want to go. The problem is that the places people want to go are too decentralized. It's a land use problem, not a transportation problem. Stay in your lane.
I spoke with @AlffDave about his new book exploring the past, present, and future of the Northeast Corridor -- Amtrak's most essential route. In @CityLab: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Been saying this for a while now: once implemented in NYC, congestion pricing as a concept is going to spread elsewhere, as traffic consumes cities and transit agencies need sustained capital funding to upgrade/rebound. news.bgov.com/bloomberg-gove…

@still_oppressed It’s easy to be self righteous when you just post on Twitter and don’t have to work with other people in the real world. She stated the reality that these are the candidates
@still_oppressed I'm fine with politicians being boring and predictable as long as they actually get things done
@still_oppressed the difference between you and AOC is that AOC actually cares about making a difference while you only care about posting for clout
@still_oppressed Practically is how you get legislation passed. You need to go back to school and study civics.
@powellAtlantic Yeah, it’s a condemnation of our political system and the political culture that undergirds it that we are faced with this choice. Trump is beyond unacceptable—you don’t vote for a cross between Mussolini, Bernie Madoff, and Krusty the Clown. But Biden should have quit.
@powellAtlantic Would further add: I very much wish Biden had bowed out a year or so ago. That would have opened up a fair primary. Even more recently I wanted a prominent, capable Dem guv—Whitmer and Pritzker were my top choices, Newsom would have been ok—to challenge him. But they didn’t.
