Cordova school district has no nurse, no mental health support, no fifth grade teacher & their maintenance person is teaching shop class. Prisons have had a 40% increase. Legislators, a 70% pay raise. A state that fails to provide an education is a failed state.#akleg
Thinking re transit regionalism & metaphor MPOs. Underrepresentation of urbanized communities. More suburban seats=more highway $ journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3141/18…. What if regionalization of #Chitransit looks like Chicagoland's MPO (full membership: cmap.illinois.gov/committees/pol…)
I knew it was bad but…..
You must be joking me. Stop prioritizing the enforcement of easy-to-spot but effectively harmless behaviors and and focus on the things that kill: speeding, distracted driving, etc.

Speaking of enforcement, no, this is not behavior that needs priority enforcement. 👇🤦♂️
FTA’s Diversity in Federal Transit program provides a 10-week opportunity for college students to make an impact supporting transit systems nationwide. Undergraduate and graduate students from backgrounds underrepresented in federal government are encouraged to apply by 2/18/24.
Do you know how our road tax (part of property taxes) system works? It's pretty whack. Every little area pays for only their own roads, yet we can all drive on all roads--and many of us do, extensively. Last night the Assembly approved a relevant ballot measure for April: 1/4

1/ AKDOT has begun a new round of trying to sell their plan to widen the Seward Highway, and this time it's somehow even more obnoxious than before. (Remember: they have *already* chosen to widen the highway, all this process is just cover to pretend they haven't.)
In this 🧵I will share before and after images from Amsterdam showing how the streets have been redesigned and how the city has changed from one designed around cars into one designed around people. First is Eerste Jacob van Campenstraat in 1988 and in 2023
You would think a newspaper based in *New York City* would not run car-centric Op-Eds like this (which omit the words "walking," "transit," or "bicycles") but the windshield bias of the Times is real.
A new study from @IIHS_autosafety: "Vehicles with hoods more than 40 inches off the ground... were 44–45 percent more likely to cause pedestrian fatalities than those with... hood heights of 30 inches or less." SUVs & trucks are killing pedestrians. iihs.org/news/detail/ve…
Open streets done right.

This @FT piece is the best examination of US crash deaths that I've seen in ages. The US is so bad at this: "Even after adjusting for distance driven, US fatality rates remain 2x the rich-world average." Here's a quick 🧵 to share insights (paywall). ft.com/content/9c936d…
Stray thought: has anyone ever used VR or AR to help people instantly visualize what a street would look like if it were redesigned around people? Like, an app on your phone that you could point at any street in your city and imagine it with fewer cars + better infrastructure.
Insane statistic: 78% of noise complaints lodged against Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport were made by a single household. Reminder that NIMBYs are a very loud minority of people.
I finally got some of these stickers in my hot little hands thanks to a @Parking_Reform happy hour last night! They are *begging* to become real signs.
Taylor Swift had her largest concert in Melbourne with 96,000 people and there was no parking provided. Next time someone tells you that "parking is needed" anywhere.
Imagine a society repeatedly throwing away its wealth like this.
$6 billion is the projected cost for the I-35 expansion in Austin. That’s more than the city’s entire yearly budget. And research shows time and time again that adding more lanes will not fix traffic.
@AK_Urban_1 I have some doubts about the H2H connectivity need. It’s not like we’re on I-10 and there’s a ton of long distance hauling going on. The bypass is to get wasilla dipnetters to the Kenai I guess?
Always been a fan of reporting by @JohnSurico, so it's a real thrill to have him cover my new NYC speed-camera study for CityLab. What happens at the extreme end of speeding when camera-based violations don't lead to license suspensions ->>> bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
The Chicago White Sox just unveiled plans for their new ballpark downtown in the South Loop, one of the most transit-rich parts of the city. Guess what? No parking! We are so back.
Quick, someone make TapThat, a dating app for Los Angeles bus riders
As a PhD student I desperately wanted to explore whether it mattered on dating sites what kinds of cars people had. Are men with trucks more attractive (everything else equal) than men w/Honda Civics? How much more? Never found the time, but someone else did something similar!
@KMRalph My personal data points: if a woman had a picture of just her car or motorcycle included in her profile, I passed. Same with pictures of them standing proudly in front of their car. But what do I know? I'm still single.
@KMRalph 😳👀 I’ll run away as soon as I see a Jeep, in pictures or on the road. My survival instincts are fully activated.
‘Trains not lanes’: Residents urge MDOT to take expanding U.S. 23 off the table mlive.com/news/ann-arbor…
Just learned a great quote from a transit agency employee: "You might not rely on transit, but someone you rely on does." She couldn't remember the original source, so credit to whoever put it so succinctly, wherever you are!
After years of concrete measures to improve cycling—and discourage driving—cyclists now outnumber motorists on London’s streets. Since 1999, cycling has spiked 386% and driving fallen 64%; with cyclists representing 40% of surface traffic—including pedestrians—during peak hours.

An incredible honor to receive the Wootan dissertation award at #TRBAM24. Much gratitude to my PhD advisor, the inimitable Professor Susan Handy, and all of you who inspired me to ask big questions.
What a way to kick off #TRBAM24! @DanSperling_ITS was awarded the @CUTCResearch Lifetime Achievement Award and @ITS_UCDavis graduate Amy Lee was awarded the Charley Wootan Dissertation Award for Policy and Planning. Huge congrats to both of them!
