No Kings and TFF are happening at the same time today.

Thank you so much to those who attended the panel and the furride!!! Thank you helpers @faristoofs.bsky.social and @milo.dook.zone for making this possible #TFF2026

I was here and the committee sounded so angry, and the answers from Plano were lacking.

A DART board member tells me Farmers Branch and Highland Park will also discuss holding withdrawal elections from the agency. Much of the broader coverage has focused on the suburbs itching to bail. Here's a profile of a group fighting to keep—and improve—DART. labreportdallas.com/p/dart-s-big...

Dallas's Silver Line is Now OPEN! Chris was invited by @ridewithdata.org to ride on the inaugural trip last week. Learn more about the new rail line, hear from local advocates, and see what it looks like in action! Out now wherever you watch or listen 🙌

Thanks to Chris from @transittangents.bsky.social for coming up to DFW and joining us at the opening of the Silver Line! Check out Transit Tangents’s new video on DART’s brand new line here:

The Silver Line arrives at Addison Station for the opening celebration:

Thank you to @goodmoine.bsky.social at @labreportdallas.bsky.social for this excellent article profiling us and our fight for our fellow riders of DART!

Hey this guy looks familiar

Stream crashed here's a new link. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_Zv...

I've lost count of how many times people notice that @hexel.dallasurbanists.org has a goose and the comments or social media always goes crazy about it.

Live now! @hexel.dallasurbanists.org from @dallasurbanists.org is live right now on @roadguyrob.bsky.social Check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXLR...

The blocking of the media from posting on Reddit is egregious and shouldn’t be allowed. I demand that the Plano mods try taking a bus or train for once.

I wanna point out I don’t live in Addison nor do I transit through Addison, but hearing the riders stories of how much longer their commutes would be would be devastating if the buses were moved off Quorum. Why should we prioritize noise over safety of riders?

I never thought love streaming a public hearing while at work and live-skeeting at the same time would be time consuming. But it genuinely was.

Here at the DART pre-Public Hearing community meeting for feedback on next year’s proposed fare increases and service cuts. 67 people here at Akard to give what will likely be scathing remarks on the service cuts.

Some notes from the Carrollton Pre-Public hearing this evening: Many impassioned Paratransit riders expressed serious concerns with the potential restructuring . To them, it is already a service that is struggling to meet their needs as is. These cuts would be catastrophic for Paratransit!

DART is taking public comments on service cuts that would be required to fund the 5% General Mobility Program that gives DART funding back to the cities. Our transit network needs to be growing, not shrinking- speak out against these cuts at these meetings this June!

⏰ It is 10 pm... The House Calendars Committee failed to put House Bill 3187 on the House Calendar 📆. House Bill 3187 is presumed dead now. 🎉 However, we should still be on the lookout, because Senate Bill 1557 could still move very quickly. 👀 Thank you, everyone, for your support!

I am hearing some Texas reps are getting hundreds of emails per day in opposition to Plano's Kill DART bill. Some say emails don't work but there is apparently a tipping point when their staff can't deal with anything but one issue. Engagement works. Save public transit!

Last night the Texas House Transportation Committee held a hearing on House Bill 3187, which could change the way DART is funded and potentially take millions from the agency. Of the 32 speakers, 28 were opposed while 4 were in favor of the bill. Here are some clips from that hearing:

Rep. Shaheen just called me a paid lobbyist if that’s the case, could I get my check please?

The agency might have to reduce bus routes, tolerate longer light rail waits, and eliminate the TRE—all as the World Cup is set to arrive in North Texas.

In a statement to the Dallas Morning News, DART board member Randall Bryant, who represents Dallas, said that he believes ”a bill to fundamentally dismantle and defund our agency would be filed, and that is exactly what HB 3187 would do.” www.dallasnews.com/news/transpo...

I just got my JLTG game in my hands, once I read up on the rules and make some adjustments. I can’t wait to organize a Hide and Seek across DART. @ridewithdata.org

To Honor Mary, she always would want to pull people onto trains and buses. DATA will be doing an "honor ride" where we will be taking the Green Line from Downtown Carrollton Station and riding the 230/57 bus on her commute to work on Sunday February 16 at 3pm.

Mary set an exceptionally powerful example of leadership in advocacy. I've been an advocate in various causes for years, and I can count on one hand the number of times I've met someone as capable, passionate, and committed as Mary. The transit advocacy community has lost one of its best this week.

It’s been a tough week. We’re going to miss Mary so much.

I swear... I just want funding for #Neurofibromatosis research

Important DART board meeting tomorrow at 1 pm! Topics include governance, budget cuts, and the current population-based representation system, which aims to ensure the most equitable representation of the people served by DART. Some suburbs want changes, and Tan Parker expects progress soon.

I did it, apparently I forgot I also own qui.pics, qui.icu and qui.run

Debating if I wanna change my Bluesky username to a short 3 letter domain that I have .

Just found out I have a brief cameo in the video during their NF Awareness Month 2024 video

We all know Nadine would win

"This sales tax issue isn't all I'll be putting to rest," says Ms. Lee

Aight Dallas urbanists, make sure to follow @cuberandgamer.bsky.social

A little late but tonight is the Children's Tumor Foundation National Gala. You can watch it on YouTube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOHG... #nf1 #neurofibromatosis #nf2 #swn #ctf

Well I finally used skybridge and got my old feed back -ish

This is the list I’m using, and then any others that slip through I’m just nuking on my own: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Here’s a decently good photo I got of Downtown Dallas shortly before sunset

Me running to BLUESKY to check if Discord is down

Fantastic @ridewithdata.org meeting today with the one and only Nadine Lee who outlined DART’s goals and future.

It’s obvious the #nf1 and #neurofibromatosis tags aren’t fully active yet but I guess I’ll do what I can do keep them up and start posting here
