This is just dumb. If the agency can't charge fares riders shouldn't be expected to have magically paid them.

URGENT BOLLARD ALERT. SDOT is going to the Pike Place Market Historical Commission next Wednesday to get initial guidance on the "physical protective barriers" planned ahead of the FIFA World Cup. The board is getting its temperature taken on a "hybrid approach" of bollards and vehicle barricades.

I was an ORCA card reader for Halloween

Great news: Julia Reed is reintroducing the presumed liability bill this session (it was HB 1518 last session). The new bill will be slightly narrower in scope. If passed, drivers will be presumed at fault if they collide with a pedestrian or cyclist in a bike lane, crosswalk, or intersection.

Imagine them locking eyes across a crowded ballroom

Sound Transit's new monthly status report on system expansion (released today) pegs the grand opening day for Federal Way Link at December 13, 2025. And for the full East Link line at April 25, 2026.

BIRD! My most recent commission - a really fun challenge making non-standard VTuber models! This is my test live tracking my motion in VSeeFace to make sure it's all working correctly🪶

The quickest way to crank out pedestrian refuge islands would be for the elected officials to provide a steady annual budget for in-house staff to design & construct the islands We did that in LA for Vision Zero for a while The key to making it work is long term local funding & ability to hire

I like how Mayor Harrell wanted to provide examples of his work on affordable housing in his latest newsletter but just sort of gave up.

The Race the L8 videos also make it clear that the drivers are losing too. We've created a road so bad that drivers in real cars lose to a toy car on the sidewalk.

once again my socializing is cut short because the 2 Line only runs until 9:30 IT IS STILL LIGHT OUT THERE SHOULD BE TRAINS RUNNING

Congestion pricing by the # ‘s 6 months in: * 67k fewer drivers entering zone daily * Delays in Holland Tunnel down 65% * Traffic deaths down 32% so far in 2025 * $500m projected this year for MTA capital improvements * B’way attendance +12% * Subway ridership +7% So yes this program is a SUCCESS.

BEFORE and AFTER: Paris removed cars and added… ✅ greenery ✅ a public restroom, and ✅ two lovers strolling hand-in-hand

A reminder that Mayor Bruce Harrell controls both the police department that's refusing to charge in this hit and run and the parks department that's failing to make the street safe.

Today an escaped fugitive walked out of custody and took a train to my neighborhood and cops did nothing to apprehend him, but they DID spend the afternoon patrolling the queer beach and harassing trans people over their clothing

They were like "what feature does this carpeted grocery store need most"

we got xbox 360 recomp tools before gta 6 😭🙏 github.com/hedge-dev/Xe... this is insanely fucking impressive work from everyone involved

US DOT has renamed the competitive RAISE program back to BUILD & changed merit criteria for winning projects to: —Eliminate goal of increasing walking, biking for public health —Eliminate goal of engaging with unions —Eliminate goal of electrification www.transportation.gov/RAISEgrants/...

WA Legislature Update: The presumed liability bill just dropped in the hopper. This treats drivers who injure a cyclist or pedestrian like the owner of a biting dog. lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/202...

Some cities, like Barcelona, have transformed streets so dramatically, it seems like AI...but it's real. And any city can do it.

In September 2019, SDOT presented a congestion pricing timeline with a "we are here" arrow. I added a red arrow to indicate where the mayor pulled the plug.

every single time, congestion pricing becomes way more popular after it’s implemented traffic sucks, but people refuse to believe it will go away until it actually does

"Curious whether Congestion Pricing is having an impact on commutes in NYC? Take a look below to compare traffic data before and after Congestion Pricing begins on January 5th, 2025." h/t @goodroads.bsky.social Cc: @thewaroncars.bsky.social @transalt.org www.congestion-pricing-tracker.com

this is INCREDIBLE, congestion pricing is already working wonders traffic at 4PM on the average Sunday vs today Holland Tunnel: 30 mins ➡️ 10 mins Lincoln Tunnel: 10 mins ➡️ 4 mins Williamsburg Bridge: 10 mins ➡️ 5 mins

It’s happening! Tonight, MTA Chair & CEO Janno Lieber unveiled one of the signs at the entrance to the Congestion Relief Zone. Tolling begins at midnight. Learn more: congestionreliefzone.mta.info

Joined a group of public transit enthusiasts excited for congestion pricing who sought to be the first people tolled by the program at midnight

This is the exact spot where the mass murderer entered Bourbon Street from Canal Street.

As @drtaragoddard.bsky.social put it in a recent @thewaroncars.bsky.social podcast, it's the "exonerative tense," a feature of windshield bias.

every year around christmas time the ballet dancers who play the rats in the nutcracker come out with a series of unexplained banger tiktok videos and anyway this is my favorite part of the holiday season

You laugh, but this is Elon Musk’s plan for public transit.

New York uses these signs instead of Push for Walk to indicate that the button only needs to be pressed for an audible signal. It's not a beg button!
