I prefer 9 or 9:30am, just so that the entire rest of the day can be devoted in an uninterrupted way to things other than meetings
Not sure who needs to hear it but it is OK if you don’t spend hours/days driving just to see an eclipse for a couple minutes. There are some great videos of eclipses online.
The official motto of the Census Bureau is "It's impossible to say whether Denver exists or not" 521,000 people in NYC missed by the Census annual estimates division vs. the decennial! I am just so sick of NYC Census discourse. The unreliability is a scandal & needs to be fixed

I know so many people, including close friends, living in suburbs like this one who were killed or had family members killed in crashes like this. Roundabouts can’t come soon enough.

US road safety issues and pedestrian deaths, already among the worst of any developed country, are going to become much more dangerous over the next 10-20 years because of companies like @StellantisNA.

A car crash at 45 MPH is the equivalent of falling off the roof of a 5-story building. Traffic calming lowers speeds, so it lowers crash energy. Don't let driver convenience kill safety improvements.
A lot of people would ride the bus in your town if they ran every 10 minutes instead of once every 30-90 minutes.

A wonderful achievement! Hoboken's street safety improvements have been simple but effective: —High-visibility crosswalks —Curb bulbouts —Lowered speed limits —Reduction in street widths —Creation of bikeways —Integration of pedestrian-focused improvements with repavings

This is a good metaphor. If cars were required to have two engines (just as we require two staircases in multifamily buildings), they would cost a lot more too.

Albuquerque found that transit fare revenues didn’t even cover the cost of administering the fares. So the city made all rides free. Eliminating transit fares actually saves the city money. /3
2/3rds of ages 18-34 live with their parents, but article fails to mention how it’s not just about housing, it’s about building mass transit to outer areas so that it’s feasible to live there (and for developers to build there) without 2-hour commutes nytimes.com/2024/01/15/wor…
"In Stockholm there was opposition to a test of congestion pricing that began in 2006. But after it succeeded in cutting traffic in the central city by 22 percent, voters made the system permanent in a referendum later that year." nytimes.com/2024/01/03/opi…
But we can’t build more than 2 stories high in wealthy NYC/DC suburbs near train stations because it would ruin the neighborhood “character”

Stop driving your kids everywhere. 1. walk with them so they get to know your community and how to navigate it safely, and 2. Advocate for safer streets for them.

This picture perfectly sums up why the USA is the wealthiest country on the planet but yet does not have free college, free public transit, free healthcare, and free childcare.

@transportdata Oh you have *regular* headways?
@KRDemCT @transportdata While I love SLE, it’s old, twisty, and runs through largely built out communities with the dollars to back up NIMBY fights. Leave the beach to tourists. So, I’m good with moving the rail inland especially if it can provide opportunities to towns like Willimantkc, Norwich, etc.
@transportdata @USDOTFHWA @yfreemark There needs to be an explicit warning about not making data comparisons when you make fundamental changes in your methodology between surveys. This is essentially the opposite of that, a simple-minded graphic that implies FHWA approval of direct 2017 to 2022 NHTS data.
@transportdata @USDOTFHWA @yfreemark Why, oh, why do federal agencies allow cute graphics that present fundamentally misleading conclusions? The "technical note" makes it clear that most, if not all of the "decline" in trip making is due to a change in survey methods. The footnote eats the conclusion.
Literally stop. Just build walkable neighborhoods. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
@mattkahn1966 @binarybits Did you also leave out home delivery, which is significant enough to be tracked in the US National Household Travel Survey and IIRC displaces more personal car trips than rideshare?
The 2022 NHTS shows the resilience of auto travel (82.1% to 86.6% of U.S. person trips) and cratering of transit (2.6% to 1.5%) and walking (10.5% to 6.8%) since 2017. Non-auto travel is driven by the workplace anchor. 2022: nhts.ornl.gov/person-trips 2017: web.archive.org/web/2023092001…
Anyone who claims to be a climate leader but doesn't prioritize public transportation and better land use is kidding themselves. intelligenttransport.com/transport-news…
@transportdata If you own your building and shrink your footprint you can lease out the extra space! Or consolidate if you had multiple locations before.
@transportdata But then your real estate costs are almost the same as with 100% on site. The employers that have benefited the most from hybrid are the ones that were able to reduce their real estate portfolio, which generally implies hotelling and 2+3 schedules.
A structural UK economic problem is they only have 1 rich city (London) and it has an extreme housing shortage You could solve this by building more housing in London, connecting more areas to London, or spreading out growth (hard)—but ongoing UK policy is "none of the above"
@transportdata @Urban_Connector Yes! I wish more businesses and elected officials understood that every car in your city represents $8K/yr or more getting sucked out of your local economy instead of being spent on housing, goods & services.
@NewsLambert If rates come down. Home prices will spike even more.
@arpitrage 1. Even if all new cars are EVs in 15 years, there will still be tons of legacy ICE cars on the road 2. Stroads and highways are still unwalkable and will feel dangerous and unenjoyable carbon emissions might be lower but “thriving” is a real stretch
they were car-free 👀
A very useful thing the British government could do would be to rejoin Eurostat. It's mad that we no longer have this helpful way to compare ourselves to our peers.
