Great contribution!
No safegauards that urban core service sees proportional share of increased investment....

Great so many care about public transit! Thrilled re: more $ for for max equity, environ and eco benefits. But, “Reform must come first"=unfunded mandate. Nothing has convinced me that new board would guarantee "safety, frequency and reliability for riders first".

*This* is why they are pushing to get rid of tenure all over. It ain’t got nothing to do with labor market inefficiencies. It’s power. Your ability to speak and publish and write using evidence is dangerous for those who want to govern us with lies, myths, and violence.

A parallel between public transit & public education? Elites have more appetite for claiming inefficiencies & promoting reform/consolidation (can b unfunded mandate) than addressing the bigger problem: inadequate investments in public goods (not that all is well w/CTA rn).

Probably reading into it too much, but @cta customer satisfaction survey has a question about bus-only lanes...is momentum/interest in bus rapid transit growing? Hope so!
Chicago Public Media says they want to reach diverse audiences, but cut the people who make these programs. Cut corporate greed and save @WBEZ and @Vocalo instead! #SaveWBEZ #SaveVocalo actionnetwork.org/forms/099c98ca…
Looking forward to @NASEMTRB Conference on Advancing Transportation Equity this July in Baltimore. Conference registration fees are steep for TRB (one factor in often skipping #TRBAM) but very excited to see free registration for community organizations web.cvent.com/event/c3620c51…
Great deep dive on sidewalk conditions & funding! Sidewalk conditions are critical 4 equity & safety. At every govt level, way more $ 4 roads for cars instead of sidewalks for so many who walk/roll, access transit. And always appreciate a note on the limits of using 311 data

Unfortunately he ducked the question. @SecretaryPete went right into fixing past damage. It isn't his fault, but the IIJA fully allows projects that cause the same damage this project is fixing. It is this administration's fault that they pretend that isn't true.

Amazing (PAID) internship @CNT_tweets for women of color interesting in transportation. Open to applicants nationally/remote open cnt.org/sites/default/… Transport/planning faculty friends, please retweet/share w/students in your programs!
Transit frequency matters! (Including on Friday nights) Not a bad wait for Blue @Clark & Lake EXCEPT for those heading beyond UIC to West Side and suburbs. 26 minutes! Inequitable impacts.
Senate Republicans (and 3 Democrats!) are aggressively fighting a rule that states track GHG emissions from highways. There's no penalty for not doing so; it's in no way linked to project selection. So telling about national + state transportation policy. route-fifty.com/infrastructure…
Stated @ChicagoDOT goals re sustainability, complete streets, Vision zero, hierarchy that centers ped/roll/transit, etc. continue to NOT show up in design & budget decision (like when engineering norms lead to bike lane removal for left hand turn on S Halsted). We can do better!

We would like to thank the reviewers for their helpful suggestions.
Wrote about D.C.’s remarkable post-Covid transit recovery, and what other cities can learn from its experiment. (The short version is: Don’t fear deficits! Transit is a public service, and the better it is, the more people will use it.) vox.com/cities-and-urb…

It is interesting, to put it politely, that Tiananmen remains the American reference point for state violence against political movements instead of, I don't know, Kent State, Wounded Knee, the MOVE bombing, LA '92, Ferguson, Standing Rock, NoDAPL, Stop Cop City, etc etc etc
There’s this weird slippage people do where by “peaceful” they mean “lawful” but then they want to use MLK as an example and seem to forget where “letter from Birmingham Jail” was written from
ok for the last damn time: THE OCCUPATION OF A BUILDING IS A PEACEFUL PROTEST
@WBPRoberts Yes! Absolutely! But who is your frustration directed toward today? Dorval Carter & @ChicagosMayor, of course! With the new structure we have no guarantee things will get any better, and who will you blame then? The Governor? The Mayor? CC Board President? Leadership of DuPage…
Chicago: Sensible take on the proposal to merge all the region's transit agencies.
Chicago set to lose majority control of CTA in exchange for just 5 seats on a proposed new regional transit board b/c of past two mayoral failures. This is NOT the solution to CTA problems, new leadership is. 🧵1/ chicagotribune.com/2024/04/29/cta…
There’s a lot of shit in this world but this guy is a rare bright spot.
so much democracy everywhere 😀
I’m told that NYPD aren’t supposed to be allowed on campus without faculty senate approval and faculty senate has not approved this We need to recognize this for what it is, which is not only trying to shut down actions against genocide but using this as a pretext to grab power
All of that is just an abstract way of saying: what President Shafik did at Columbia moved the whole world a step closer to universally criminalizing direct action, and direct action is the ONLY thing that is going to help the world halt global heating. 14/n
In 1968, protests at Columbia were bigger and more disruptive. Yet in 2024, the university responded faster and with more violence. The change is due to the militarization of the police and growth of elite private education into more important site of American capital and power.
"Tucked inside the city’s proposal is a new $115- to $135-million housing loan program—the Green Social Housing Revolving Fund—which could become one of the city’s most significant housing programs in decades." chicagoreader.com/news-politics/…
Weird time to get this but it’s officially done… #Tenured
@ChicagosMayor 6/ This is not that solution Chicago & CTA need, this is a classic example of the politician's syllogism: 1) We must do something. 2) This is something. 3) Therefore, we must do this.
5/ CTA needs new leadership, all that’s required to change direction is one(1) decision by @ChicagosMayor. In the future, reforms will be an order of magnitude more difficult b/c will require coordination between Governor, Mayor, Cook Cty President, & the collar county boards.
4/ Consolidation of funding adds real risk of city services competing w/ suburban services for allocation of funding. Presently, each agency has own funding and control thereof.
3/ No guarantee that consolidation will result in fare integration, schedule coordination, or improvement in service quality. New structure can be just as dysfunctional as the one it’s replacing.
@ChicagosMayor 2/ No elected accountability for the new regional board. Presently the buck to the CTA stops w/ @ChicagosMayor & he can be held directly responsible by voters. The new structure disperses responsibility among 8 offices, in effect making it accountable to no one.
Movement in the Illinois legislature to combine CTA/Metra/Pace into a unified service provider, with board seats comprised as follows: —Governor appoints 3 —Chicago Mayor 5 —Cook County 5 —5 collar counties each 1 —19th elected by board as chair
Chicago set to lose majority control of CTA in exchange for just 5 seats on a proposed new regional transit board b/c of past two mayoral failures. This is NOT the solution to CTA problems, new leadership is. 🧵1/ chicagotribune.com/2024/04/29/cta…
Every union member in the country should take a long, hard look at how the state is treating a bunch of rich college kids hanging out in tents on a college quad because all that shit is coming to a picket line near you very, very soon.
CNN's @miguelmarquez: "I've covered lots of this sort of stuff around the world, and i've never seen this many police moving into one area."
Student journalists at WKCR are having to correct professional media, including CNN, claiming the Columbia protesters aren't students. What a black mark on our industry, forcing student reporters to fact-check our unsubstantiated claims while they watch police raid their campus
