💯 Imagine caring for and centering human beings in our decision making process for how we develop our communities.

Why is it so hard to build good transit projects in the United States? Some key reasons: Over designing, Political Interference, Sensitivity to Disruption etc... Potential solutions: Governance Reform, Decisiveness, Standardization, In House Expertise etc... youtu.be/6BFdnOTYloU?...

@amtrak.com I'd like a "Supreme Class" seat on the Acela from DC to Boston since it takes over 7 hours. Might as well be supremely comfortable! 😁 youtu.be/ipVe72uwZAg?...

Hello from @wmata.com 1000 and 8000 Series Train Cabs!

In the market for an endurance geometry road bike (goals: century ride + mid-level group rides). ​Real talk: Is a carbon frame and electronic shifting actually worth the extra cash, or will a top-tier aluminum frame and mechanical shifters do the job just fine? 🚲

250 years into this grand experiment, today is for reflection. True patriotism isn't a flag. It’s everyday people choosing kindness and service, knowing we are stronger when we all succeed—no matter our starting line. Not ME. Not THEM. But US. We move forward together.

​We must find better ways to fund transit at every level. The ROI of great service far outweighs the operating costs when you factor in the access to opportunity it creates. TriMet's massive cuts prove that ignoring this funding crisis has real community consequences. ⬇️ www.opb.org/article/2026...

Had a great time giving our @redlinemaryland.bsky.social High School Interns a tour of the project corridor! We talked about the challenges/opportunities along with positive benefits the Red Line can bring to the city and region.

We must get serious about passenger rail. It's not a "nice to have", it's an absolutely essential part of a modern society that cares about people. amp-dw-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/amp.dw.c...

Glad to see an international best practice in rail being applied here in the U.S.

GOOD NEWS! 🎉 Our restocked pop-up shop reopens next Monday, July 6! If you missed out on an item during your last visit, this is another chance to shop our 50th anniversary collection. We can’t wait to see you there!

Baltimore takes number 2 position only behind Philadelphia in the latest video from @nerd4cities.bsky.social on the Most Undervalued U.S. cities! I'm biased but the bones here are absolutely fantastic and the foundation is set for a great comeback. youtu.be/dAFgj-A18sM?...

“With VRE preparing to vacate Ivy City as part of Amtrak’s Ivy City Rail Yard Revitalization project, Seminary Yard fills an immediate need for us, while also ensuring adequate storage space for service expansion as we look to 2030 and beyond.” www.alxnow.com/2026/06/30/v...

A huge shout out to Stephen Hunt from Valley Regional Transit in Boise, ID for this awesome donation to the International Micro Museum of Transit Collection! Stephen and I had the pleasure to meet in person at the 2026 @apta-info.bsky.social Rail Conference in Baltimore.

Contractors are taking advantage of multibillion-dollar train and transit contracts, even as funding challenges create hurdles for project execution. www.constructiondive.com/news/rail-pr...

The @mta.maryland.gov team is thrilled to welcome transit leaders from across the country to Baltimore for the @apta-info.bsky.social Rail Conference! We're making major investments in our rail systems & are excited to learn from & share with peer agencies.

Come to the YPT Baltimore APTA Rail Happy Hour this evening! 5 pm at Section 771. We have many transit folks visiting from out of town and anyone is welcome.

I had a great time speaking to the American Public Transportation Association Emerging Leaders Class of 2027 at APTA Rail! They give me hope and inspiration for the future! Here's some of this amazing group of humans. @apta-info.bsky.social

Thanks for the rides around town Cincinnati Metro! These route ladder display screens on the buses are great! Every transit agency should have them.

Hughes STEM High School in Cincinnati.

The 1931 Restaurant in the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza. Built as part of the Carew Tower complex in 1930-1931, it's an absolutely stunning example of French Art Deco!

Hello Cincinnati!

Thank you Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky (TANK) for the ride from the airport!

LRT vs. SkyTrain? That was the question the community debated. Now the Surrey/Langley SkyTrain extension, set to open in 2029, is under construction. @theb1m.bsky.social youtu.be/dqo_KAEF81k?...

"Even though they were not open for the entire month of May, these new stops added between 8,000 and 10,000 new riders every single day, proving that providing an alternative to the Wilshire Boulevard gridlock was a highly anticipated move for the Westside." secretlosangeles.com/metro-los-an...

Who is coming to the American Public Transportation Association 2026 Rail Conference in Baltimore in a few weeks? Let me know if you're coming so we arrange meeting plans. If you're looking for local recommendations of things to do and see, happy to help and play tour guide!

Thanks @mta.maryland.gov route 91 for the ride!

The NACTO community is mourning a profound loss. Last Friday, Riley O’Neil, a Complete Streets Planner with the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT), was struck and killed while riding his bike in Chicago’s Bridgeport neighborhood.

Important thread on how Title VI has protected communities.

I got my driver's license ON my 16th birthday. Now I park my cargo bike next to my boss' matching cargo bike.

In a rule change announced Wednesday — and published Thursday without public comment — U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy eliminated disparate impact liability, a key tenet of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, from the U.S. DOT’s regulations. www.kqed.org/news/1208711...

I’ve transitioned to a new role with @mta.maryland.gov as the Deputy Director of Planning for the @redlinemaryland.bsky.social! 2026 marks 10 years since I pivoted from music to transit. To anyone on a non-traditional path: Keep persisting. Make yourself undeniable. Time to get to work!
