Good morning. I hope you woke up in as good a mood as the founder of Ticketmaster did.

LAX’s “roadway modernization plan” is 18+ miles of new roadway, encouraging more people to drive to LAX, despite billions of dollars of investment in a people mover and rail connectivity.
It will also make getting into the central terminal area hostile to pedestrians & cyclists.
Streets For All is committed to making Los Angeles’ streets safer for everyone - no matter how you get around.
As our Organization of the Month for July, we met up with @michaelschneider.com from @streetsforall.org to talk about these projects and more!
I’d rather have clean, safe, reliable transit that comes often, than fare free transit.

Does this open the door to every 501c3 being able to endorse political candidates?

“I don't think there's enough bike advocates in almost any North American city to pass a bike-specific ballot measure on its own. I think you have to reach out and explain the benefits to the larger population. It can't just be about bikes.” 🚸 @michaelschneider.com @streetsforall.org

“I thought I would get a new car. Instead, I started biking around. I was never in traffic. I never had to look for parking, and I felt like I had hacked my city and couldn't believe it was a legal and fun way to get around that I had just never known.” 🚴🏿🚴🏻♂️🚴🏽♀️ @michaelschneider.com @streetsforall.org

Use a bike!
In this case, an electric cargo bike.
Big news in the advocacy world! Excited to work with Robin and @streetsforallsf.org to improve all of California!

“We talk about climate change, housing shortages, mental health, or polarization as separate problems. But they share a common root: the way we design cities. If you design for cars, you get traffic. If you design for people, you get life.”

“Car free Olympics”
Paris:
- rail with good headways
- bus rapid transit with good headways
- protected bike lane network
LA:
Forget all that old stuff we haven’t tried, we need flying taxis!

Congestion pricing has improved life in New York City by: reducing cars on the street, speeding traffic (especially at peak hours), speeding buses and making them more reliable, expanding transit ridership, reducing car crashes, reducing noise complaints, and increasing the number of visitors.
Fire response times fell in the NYC congestion zone, even as they increased in the rest of the city.
Car crashes with injuries fell citywide, but they fell especially dramatically in the congestion pricing zone from 2024 to 2025
Local buses have sped up dramatically in the congestion pricing zone.
NYC’s congestion pricing is a policy miracle: Less traffic, less noise, faster transit, more business sales, more transit revenue. And it hasn’t produced the negative effects outside the cordon zone we were afraid of.

I wrote something about Mayor Bass’ proposed budget
“Do we want to live in a city where we can’t safely walk to the park because the sidewalks are too broken and the streetlights are out, and the park’s hours have been reduced because of staffing cuts?”

I apologize for not giving you credit in my original post. Fantastic illustration.

I’ve never understood why Americans don’t want the same kinds of environments they love when they travel, at home.

Biking to LAX even in the rain is 💯

Nothing gives me more joy than biking with my girls.
Nothing motivates my quest for safer streets more than biking with my girls.
