This is pretty cool. "Users who tag their activities as commutes on Strava can see their estimated carbon savings when commuting by running, walking, cycling or e-biking instead of traveling by car” endurance.biz/2023/industry-… @PVDStreets @safeontheroad

Looking to build safer streets, better bike lanes, and walkable routes that connect people where they need to go? New federal funding is available for your community to layer on top of existing state and local sources! Keep reading 👀⤵️
Look what I saw in Boston today. Great bike infrastructure.
Mass Ave bridge protected bike lanes working as intended! What a lovely sight! 😍
We're big fans of pedestrian head start signals. They let people🚶🏻♀️🧑🏾🦼 start to cross an intersection before 🚗 get a green🚦— reducing serious collisions by 35%. Let's make them the standard for every crosswalk with a traffic light! theurbanist.org/2022/11/04/sea… #VisionZero

If the 1989 earthquake hadn't happened, SF would still have the Embarcadero Freeway. If the pandemic hadn't happened, SF would still have cars on JFK. In 2023, can we start improving our city even without disasters?
Thinking we need to change the way we frame road trauma? Here's a quick guide on reframing the message, developed by none other than @ElyseKeefe, @stephenjheiny, and yours truly. Grab the complete Guide here: roadsafety.unc.edu/wp-content/upl…
If you want to change the world, you can start by creating a bike lane. Announcing BICI, a partnership of @BloombergDotOrg and @globalcities, offering 10 cities grants up to $1M to build the next generation of innovative cycling infrastructure. bloombergcities.jhu.edu/bici
One of my favorite features from a recent street project in #Brookline. The sidewalk goes around the tree, providing a continuous accessible route for pedestrians while preserving tree canopy & creating a traffic calming bump-out. @BlineTransport
To drivers everywhere: not one single cyclist ever has "come out of nowhere". Instead, cyclists almost always come from *where you didn't bother to look". Remember that before ascribing trans-dimensional skills to us that we don't have!
We visited the Olympic Discovery Trail for the first time this weekend. The 10 mile Lake Crescent section is fully accessible and 100% spectacular. Seattle has a similar opportunity to create a family friendly and accessible trail on Lake Washington Boulevard — let’s do it.
Imagine Lake Street downtown Kirkland. It just takes vision and political will.
Cyclists in Providence wanted safe bike infrastructure so badly they're building it themselves. With permission from the city, @PVDStreets raised nearly $100k to build a one-mile bike trail for a week pilot in the hopes it becomes permanent!
ATTENTION HOPE STREET: Survey links are now live on our website – please share your feedback on the temporary trail with us! The good, the bad, the ugly - we want to hear it all: pvdstreets.org/hope Leave your info behind & be entered to win gift certificates to local biz:

Heavier cars are safer for their drivers, but far deadlier for everyone else. This paper find that for every 1,000 pounds a car weighs over a Toyota Corolla, the chance of killing another person goes up by 46%! Heavier vehicles lead to 28k more US deaths. doi.org/10.1093/restud…
Slower, safer, more inclusive streets BUILD business! Safer routes to commercial districts and increased pedestrian and bike traffic is a *good thing* for local businesses! 🏃🏽♀️🚴♀️

Separated bike lanes installed in 2021 on the Massachusetts Avenue Bridge as part of a bicycle safety pilot are now permanent, resulting in one travel lane in both directions and buffered bike lanes.

Does your city or county not require street trees along its new roads? I've written this generic text to help you change that. Let me know if you want it in Word.
If the 1989 earthquake hadn't happened, SF would still have the Embarcadero Freeway. If the pandemic hadn't happened, SF would still have cars on JFK. In 2023, can we start improving our city even without disasters?

If you want to change the world, you can start by creating a bike lane. Announcing BICI, a partnership of @BloombergDotOrg and @globalcities, offering 10 cities grants up to $1M to build the next generation of innovative cycling infrastructure. bloombergcities.jhu.edu/bici
Copenhagen's approach to resilient streets is not complicated: build safe traffic-calmed streets & add cycle tracks on higher speed streets. Add bioswales to address water & add amenity value. Your community could do this as well.
One of my favorite features from a recent street project in #Brookline. The sidewalk goes around the tree, providing a continuous accessible route for pedestrians while preserving tree canopy & creating a traffic calming bump-out. @BlineTransport
This would also be incredible along the Puget Sound, building off the railroad line and taking the Burke to Edmonds and beyond.
We visited the Olympic Discovery Trail for the first time this weekend. The 10 mile Lake Crescent section is fully accessible and 100% spectacular. Seattle has a similar opportunity to create a family friendly and accessible trail on Lake Washington Boulevard — let’s do it.
To drivers everywhere: not one single cyclist ever has "come out of nowhere". Instead, cyclists almost always come from *where you didn't bother to look". Remember that before ascribing trans-dimensional skills to us that we don't have!
"It was an amazing week, we collected nearly 1,000 paper and online surveys, speed data, trail user counts, and parking occupancy rates,” says Providence Streets Coalition Organizer Liza Burkin on the temporary Hope Street bike path project. turnto10.com/news/local/hop…
