this is some good shit from nolan

This applies to much more than walking: "The human ability to adapt is the key to our spectacular success on this planet. Our problem is that the people who lead our public conversations, our elites of wealth and opinion, are often some of the least adaptable people on earth."

“In the Philadelphia area, SEPTA is making a 20% service cut but will eventually have to cut service 45%. Cutting almost half of a transit system is not a way to make it more efficient. It more like asking whether you’d like to keep your heart or your lungs.” humantransit.org/2025/08/the-...

Wow! I think Newport is the only municipality in Rhode Island that passed a resolution in opposition to the proposed RIPTA service cuts, especially on the routes that affect Aquidneck Island! 🚌⚓🌊 #SaveRIPTA #TransitIsEssential cityofnewport.granicus.com/MetaViewer.p... Cc: @pvdstreets.bsky.social

Philly shouldn't be in this situation. But with updated data from SEPTA, we use the app to educate riders... and amplify advocacy actions, so lawmakers get an earful. SEPTA is first, but the rest of PA is next. If you live anywhere in the Keystone State, call your state senator and representative.

Such a no-brainer role for bikeshare stations. Love it.

Cannot believe there's no hot air ballon emoji.

Empty lot in Newport, RI: - Reduced from 44 units to 38 - Zoning requires 76 parking spaces (!!); developer wants to build 41 NIMBYs: - "It’s a safety concern" - "I don’t know anyone that’s op­posed to workforce housing, but you have to do it reasonably" www.newportthisweek.com/articles/new...

I like seeing Transit app advising transit riders about the local fiscal cliff! Have you seen this message? Well in case you didn’t tap it, go visit SaveTransit.org and learn about the service cuts and what you can do about them

Re-upping this because T4A's conclusion is a sea change for sustainable transportation advocates: scrapping the bankrupt Highway Trust Fund might be necessary — but the cuts to non-car projects will be enormous, and nothing is certain about how (or if) states will pick up the pieces.

How does America pass its most important (and biggest) federal transportation bill? We're here to walk you through this next surface transportation reauthorization season: usa.streetsblog.org/2025/07/22/e...

new S(ubstack)-Bahn post: in the 1960s, Paris saw major ridership drops in its Metro and buses and rising deficits. so did every major French city. the head urban planner of Paris warned of a transit "catastrophe." how did France rescue its public transit? www.substack-bahn.net/p/how-france...

I don't post selfies here often but when I do it's with a #SaveRIPTA shirt and a @transit.app pin on my way to the APTA Legislative conference @apta-info.bsky.social

pleased to see transit app sharing opportunities to advocate for better transit service directly to riders through their app 😊 saw this (very timely) link to surveys and consultations for dedicated bus lanes on bathurst while using the app on the bathurst bus!

I love staring at the BQE sometimes

State ADU law is getting housing built over the objections of anti-housing local governments and we love to see it.

Have a project that helps people engage with government and speak up for: ⛔ Less traffic? 🚶‍♂️ Safer pedestrian streets? 🚲 Better bus and bike lanes? 🚌 More transit funding? If @transit.app users can make a difference, we'll share it (for free) in the app! Drop me a line 👉 forms.gle/Vgq7Y6WvqFgJ...

💰 It’s budget season, and many transit agencies are facing critical funding shortfalls! 🚨 We’ve mobilized riders in… 🚃 Vancouver 🚌 Kansas City 🚋 San Francisco 🚎 Pittsburgh … to speak up through local advocacy campaigns and save public transit in their cities! 📢

Crazy how New York has a Rail Road, a Railroad, and a Railway all run by MTA

Radar: Good news! The rain you were worried about has passed by, you're in the clear Forecast: Yes indeed, no precipitation from here on out Me: Hops on bike to meet friends Weather: Pours rain halfway through my ride to their place

I am so appreciative of the email sent by @geographers.bsky.social to AAG conference attendees to help prep for potential border travel issues, but the fact they had to do it, incl providing an emergency email contact, and *had to make abstracts only visible to participants* is shocking and scary.

Thank you @transit.app for the support! Help us prevent service cuts by visiting muniforever.org/speak-up

Paris has been leading the way on greener, car-free streets… and the future of that work is on the ballot this Sunday, March 23rd 🌳 🗳️ What will Parisians say? Pour nous, it’s a definite OUI! 💪

Absolutely incredible, and compassionately written. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/13/n...

Best part of my job, hands down, is amplifying the urgent work of local advocates 💚

We recently outfitted our team of sign installers with a customized electric cargo bike they can use to travel from stop-to-stop, replacing decals and performing other maintenance activities. Using these bikes is a simple and effective way to reduce our carbon footprint! See you out there!

Before (2016) / After (2025) the "rue aux écoles" on Rue Vauvenargues in the 18th arrondissement of Paris. Already in 2021, potted plants were placed to create chicanes to reduce the speed of traffic in front of the school at the left here, but since the end of 2024, it is truly a "rue aux écoles".

Welcome to Rennes, metro area of 750,000 and regional capital of Brittany in western France. From Paris it's 1h30 by high-speed train or 3h30 by car. In 2002 the city opened its first metro line, making it the world's smallest city with a subway. Now it covers 15 miles with 2 lines and 28 stations.

I took an unreasonable number of photos in Rennes today. Great city.

🎉 Happy SEPTA Wayfinding launch day to those who celebrate!

Loved working on this project. Transit systems can use GTFS to tell riders if they accept contactless credit cards. Now, the Transit app uses that info, linking riders to Apple and Google Wallet at exactly the right moment.

MTA to Feds: Drop dead

Also spotted: a "tram gate", a common solution used in Zurich to give priority to trams where there isn't enough space to fit island platforms with lateral lanes for both directions.

The same thing happens with English and French. I work for a company that uses both languages a lot, and it's led to (ironically) some minor misunderstandings.

Not easy to show how our actions influence policies. But @tombabin.bsky.social does it very well, going back to our 1st actions - Observatoire du Plan Vélo, Vélopolitain - to show how they influenced elections then policies and it could inspire other cities and NGOs! www.youtube.com/watch?v=woFl...

✅ La tranche des cyclistes de + de 55 ans montre la plus grande croissance des pratiquants au QC. ✅ Non, les pistes cyclables ne sont pas priorisées par rapport aux trottoirs pour le déblaiement. ✅ Les cyclistes sont aussi des citoyens. La politique municipale mieux. Ressaisissez-vous.

This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument. (Scroll down.)

I can’t believe it - after years of advocacy, exclusionary zoning has ended in Cambridge. We just passed the single most comprehensive rezoning in the US—legalizing multifamily housing up to 6 stories citywide in a Paris style Here’s the details 🧵
