Today, we’re launching the third edition of the Urban Bikeway Design Guide–the first update in over a decade! The new manual elevates planning from building great individual bike lanes to building great complete bike networks. nacto.org/2025/01/07/nac…

8 million people live in NYC & 65 million more visit every year – cars can never serve as the primary means of getting around a city as big & bustling as ours. Congestion pricing will allow us to build the robust, safe, and efficient public transit we need. Today is a victory.

As a longtime advocate for congestion pricing and a Congressional Representative for the CBD, I find @GovKathyHochul's 'indefinite pause' of congestion pricing misguided, harmful, and likely unlawful. Watch my testimony before the @MTA's Board Meeting today:

"[Congestion Pricing] didn’t poll well before it was instituted in London or Stockholm, either, where it has been solving gridlock, increasing bus ridership and reducing asthma rates. Opinion shifted in those cities after residents saw the benefits." nytimes.com/2024/06/09/art…

In @FastCompany, I wrote about how wild it is that Ford, GM, and Stellantis no longer offer any sedan models in the US. That's bad for Americans -- and it's risky for the Big Three. fastcompany.com/91123174/detro…

It's a historic day: Today, the MTA Board voted to approve the toll rates for the nation's first congestion pricing program. This program will reduce traffic in Manhattan's central business district, reduce pollution, and provide critical funding for transit improvements.

Costly parking mandates prioritize and subsidize car storage space over living space. We can't afford to keep making life affordable for cars and unaffordable for people. #BlackFridayParking

Last week the National Transportation Safety Board recommended that speed-limiting technology be required on all new cars. It’s an excellent idea. @USDOT should do it. My latest in @FastCompany. 🧵 below fastcompany.com/90985257/you-s…

Having done my best to piss off a lot of people on this website one thing that stands out is how people who are accustomed to driving their car everywhere have never even really given car culture any thought. Like, no part of it.

@NYCMayor And last but not least, we'll ensure New York City's space is put to use for people, not for cars, by ending parking mandates for new housing across the entire city.
