As #TranspoBINGO is coming to a close, join us for a happy hour on Thursday, Feb 29 starting at 6 pm at @metrobardc to share your experiences, meet participants, and collect prizes. We'll have pizza (until it's eaten) and 10% off drinks. All are welcome, and we hope to see you!
📣The #TranspoBINGO boards are live! 🚌 🚇🚲👣♿ We're taking a trip in time to honor our past and advocate for our future. Our three boards are inspired by transpo heroes. If your first name begins with: A-I: Rosa Parks board J-Q: A. Philip Randolph board R-Z: Kittie Knox board
IYKYK: @AnacostiaBID really does have it all. Here's where to go to satisfy a craving for art, theater, literature, music, food & good old-fashioned community spirit in this historic neighborhood | Out and About in Anacostia! eastoftheriverdcnews.com/2024/02/12/out…
It's almost time for #TranspoBINGO, and we wanted to take a moment to express gratitude for our sponsors: @BWBDC @ggwash @betterDCregion @W8BikeAlliance They're helping us advocate for better public and active transportation and sharing joy along the way. THANK YOU!
When you look at this map and compare it to moveDC's map of areas with the greatest transportation needs, you have to question whether @DDOTDC is meeting its equity goals. Despite some trails, through FY 2026 there are 0 plans to install a protected bike lane in ward 8 EOTR.

Wasn't even me. Thank you to the impassioned supporter still trying to combat NIMBY disinformation! Just like with Beach Dr when RCP- NPS initially wanted to reopen the road to use motorists as a deterrent for offtrail peeps, public outcry got to a better place. Same thing here.
*So many of you* contributed to this thread about DC programs everyone should know about! @Janeese4DC and Team @CMLewisGeorgeW4 compiled all the programs you shared (and many others) into this roundup for @petworthdcnews. Check it all out: petworthnews.org/blog/cm-lewis-…
DC folks! What are the best DC government services and programs that more people should know about?
This 2018 report from pops up every time there's a discourse about racial disparities and red light cams. It gets flattened into "oh, so you DO want law enforcement huh?" or an absurd argument that removing cameras is a form of equity. But people forget it's recommendations:
In DC, researchers found that red light cams were systemically concentrated in Black communities, resulting in more tickets for Black drivers. Meanwhile there’s no evidence Black drivers speed/drive differently than anyone else. This is systemic racism. dcpolicycenter.org/publications/p…

An absolute gut punch of an email. The folks who produce such incredible work - pouring their energy into stories that help me and so many other readers & listeners understand our region - deserve so much better than this.
Ominous email sent to WAMU staff this afternoon about a “new strategic framework” to be announced Friday morning. Their offices will be closed to have the "time and space" to have these convos-- WAMU won't publish anything online, and they're automating starting 8pm.
