Happy Earth Day! I recently learned that San Francisco has approximately 125,000 street trees, so I made a fun project where you can enter your birthday to discover street trees that were planted on the day you were born! 🎄🌴🌳🥳 transpomaps.org/projects/san...

What a lovely day to premiere the culmination of over 5 years of tireless work by our extraordinary community @oceanbeachpark.org I'm so thankful for what each and every one of you have done to bring us to this historic day.

Anyone else struggling to focus & stay motivated with this weather and endless barrage of bad news? I have several projects that are like 80-90% completed and can't seem to get them done. How are y'all battling fatigue, despair and the feeling that nothing you're working on even matters anymore?

After 4 years & connecting 320 people in need with free bikes, Bike Match Network is shutting down. Plus a deep dive into why Telraam's traffic monitoring sensors haven't been effective at calming our streets in the Bay Area. New substack just dropped 🔥 open.substack.com/pub/braitsch...

Hi bluesky. I haven't been on here in awhile, nice meet you new followers. I produce maps & data analyses that help people fight for safer, healthier & more equitable cities. I'd love to see what you're working on. Here's our latest project we just launched today sf.streetsblog.org/2024/12/02/n...

New data analysis & op-ed: Turning the Great Highway into a park will bring millions to local businesses AND will likely reduce vehicle crashes and emergency response times throughout the Sunset District. Support our local businesses by voting #yesonk! sfstandard.com/opinion/2024...

I made a live crash tracker to support congestion pricing in NYC! Will any of my 19 followers see it here? Who knows! transpomaps.org/projects/nyc...

Hello bluesky! I produce maps & data analyses to support safe streets advocacy. I have a lot of projects in the works, welcome feedback & collaborations and look forward to meeting new people here. Thanks @drewmcd.bsky.social for the invite! transpomaps.org
