Active Travel Please! #MobilityIsEquity

Every time I meet someone and they learn that I am in transportation, they say “you need to fix congestion on so and so road”.

Every time my response is the same: “I have the solution, you just won’t like it.”

Crickets following the exchange (also every time).

London's bus stops haven't been re-designed for over 20yrs.

We're rolling out some new designs with features including:
🪑seating for people to stop & rest
💡improved lighting helping safety concerns
➡️signage to help wayfinding

I asked for actions to be done now: low cost, low risk, high visibility.

A woman said 'walking home I do not feel safe as the sidewalk is very dark. The street for cars is well lit.
If city just turned light 90 degrees, at zero cost, we'd have light on street AND SIDEWALK.'
Yes! Doable everywhere!

Cars and car-centric design ruin cities. Walkable and bikeable neighborhoods subsidize suburban sprawl. Build up, not out. 🚶‍♀️👩‍🦽🛹🛼🚲🛴🚌🚈🚋🚃

E-bikes are transforming regional mobility and enabling longer-distance cycling.

Last week, the DCE's Chris Bruntlett explored this topic at “Metropolis of the Future” organised by Bilbao Metropoli 30 and Caminos Euskadi.

From my travels today, having a basket on your bike is such a massive boon, it goes so hard. You feel so powerful.

✅ We both needed to ship a package.

✅ Customer parking is customer parking.

Cities for cycling: what is needed beyond good will and cycle paths?

Got to love Nextdoor.

A woman who drives a Porsche trying to sue the local roads authority for damaged coil springs, alleging a pothole was responsible for the damage.

No, I think not. If you drive a Porsche, you are subsidised enough already.

A girl walks down a narrow brick alleyway with shorter brown brick shops, and houses on either side. There are some plants in the alley, and the sun is reflecting off the building buildings in the back.

Good morning from Haarlem.

122,557 trips ! And safety remains a controversial spend, despite a lower annual build cost than the Mayor's Office costs

No detailed strategy, no goal to achieve Vision Zero, no proposal/motion for this. After a record-breaking year of fatalities on our roads including five pedestrian fatalities, two child deaths
I think this will be Dr Catherine Cervin and/or Dr Sara Kirk speaking today

We don't have snow to deal with in Trinidad and Tobago.....that's great, because our streets are enough of a disaster! #PoliticalWill #LeadershipMatters

🦓 Cities can feel like a jungle, but new-style zebra crossings could carve out a clearer, safer path through. Pedestrians still have priority, and cleaner layouts make streets easier to navigate for everyone walking, wheeling, or riding.

How the 'Little Free Pantry' Can Help Feed the Hungry Without Requiring Them to Drive — Streetsblog USA Researchers are trying to reduce the mobility barrier to food by bringing it directly to neighborhoods.

Once in place, they are maintained by the community under the “take what you need, leave what you can” model: neighbors donate food to the pantry, then community members in need simply pick it up.

Do urban motor vehicle restriction policies truly control urban air quality? Traffic restrictions have received increasing attention in academia and are becoming a major measure to control urban air pollution. Many studies have…

Therefore, air pollution and health problems caused by urban traffic congestion remain public concerns that are being discussed worldwide.

*Motor vehicles are unnecessary in many cities! Awful way to get from A to B in many instances!*

Let me just say this, "drivers aren't interested in sharing the road with anyone, particularly, truck drivers!" Even with relatively car free streets, a driver of a flatbed tow truck would have killed me at a corner pinch point; if I hadn't squeezed real hard on my brakes and stopped. 🙄☠️🚲

Night rides are magical!

Rapper Ghetts jailed over fatal London hit-and-run The grime artist failed to stop after his BMW hit Nepali student Yubin Tamang, 20, in Ilford.

Drunk. More than twice the speed limit. And a coward.

If it were up to me, he would never ever be allowed to drive again.

Driving is a privilege, not a right — and when you abuse it with such reckless disregard for life, I feel you should face permanent consequences.
