Behold the #Copenhagen Green Wave: “Copenhagen has synchronized traffic signals on major routes so that a cyclist traveling at about 12 mph can roll through multiple intersections without stopping…” Bike mode share is now 50%. www.thecooldown.com/outdoors/cop...

What struck me about this trip was how #Paris has once again cemented its status among world-leading #cities. #Atlanta is still having trouble achieving that position, partly due to our fixation on schemes from the previous century. TrailsATL plus the “Wheels & Heels” plan can get us there.

"We're creating a new man-made ecological disaster: enormous data centres in remote places like deserts, that will be rusting away and leaching bad things into the environment, with no one left to hold accountable because the builders and investors will be long gone.” www.bbc.com/news/article...

It’s almost #election time! So, what are candidates for #Atlanta council thinking about #transportation? We asked, and most answered. Read our blog to see what their priorities are: betteratlantatransit.org/blog

#Investing in #infrastructure for #bikes and other #micromobility — like the Atlanta Beltline — is clearly a smart move! Perhaps we need to implement the TrailsATL plan a bit faster.💡 www.ajc.com/business/202...

Level 5 self-driving cars are the flying cars of the 21st century: “…it may be decades before the technology is sufficiently developed to fully solve the challenges of autonomous driving in busy, built-up areas.” www.forbes.com/sites/bernar...

Government’s asleep, let’s build some guerrilla bike lanes before they wake up.

Bicycles provide the freedom auto ads promise!!

💯 #Cities are where American values— #democracy, #reason, #freedom— are strongest.

The picture featured in this article says it all. The City of Alexandria, Virginia has been de-prioritizing #cars for decades. It is paying dividends. Fewer motorists = more livability. Hopefully, this effort will continue. #completestreets #transportation www.alxnow.com/2025/09/24/a...

You know you’re in for a rough day when you request an #Uber and it gives you a choice between a #Waymo robotaxi and a #Tesla. 💥🚙 It’s like choosing between Russian Roulette and cyanide. ☠️

#Austin faces a choice: Make Sixth Street safe for people or leave it as a car sewer. Unfortunately, two of the options (2 & 3) fall into the latter category. Paywall: www.statesman.com/news/article... Apple News link: apple.news/A5yX9iZ56T6e...

Do not buy a Tesla. If you own one, get rid of it. Do not even ride in one. This isn’t about politics. It’s about survival.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Trump is rescinding road safety grants all over the country, in blue states and red ones. The reason: those projects are "hostile" to cars. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The latest attack on multimodal transportation is more brazen and destructive than ever before — and the Trump administration is no longer hiding its disdain for walking and biking projects.

🤨 Poor #leadership: “Charles Allen, Ward 6 councilmember and another ‘yes’ vote, says that he supported the bill despite acknowledging that ‘decades of experience and research’ have definitively proven that public investment in #NFL stadiums is bad news.” 🤦🏻‍♂️ defector.com/the-commande...

Remarkable. The toll lanes on the west side of the DC Beltway didn’t cure or even alleviate congestion, yet leaders with the Fairfax County Government and the VDOT want to try again on the south side. Apparently in #Virginia, failure is always an option. www.fox5dc.com/news/fairfax...

What a photo. ( @staceywescott.bsky.social )

This should have implications for the foray of #Tesla into the #robotaxi business. Bad implications. #investing #tech #law www.autoblog.com/electric/tes...

#Robotaxis risk “widening the gulf between those happily ensconced in their AVs and those stuck in buses crawling through gridlock.” #Cities that welcome #Tesla and #Waymo condemn riders of bus #transit systems to endless delays, unless they create dedicated #bus lanes. www.vox.com/future-perfe...

#Paris, a larger, denser city than #Atlanta, is now more livable. How did they do it?🤔 1. Reduced storm runoff ⛈️ 2. Plants! 👉 street trees & green roofs/walls 👩🏻‍🌾 3. Restricted cars 🛑 4. Built bike lanes via Plan Vélo 🚲 Maybe we should do a little urban plagiarism…😏 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It’s the definition of selfishness when someone puts their personal convenience over the #safety of others: “Now, a small group of people who will lose access to on-street parking in front of their house are protesting the design.” Shame on them. #bikesky www.letspropelatl.org/south_boulev...

Mobility lanes move more than just people on bikes and they often create much needed space that our minimal sidewalks lack.

Connectivity.

The city of Oslo has been lowering speed limits quite aggressively, even on the few urban highways that still exist. And drivers seem to largely be adhering to the new limits. So now, traffic sometimes feels like it’s moving slow motion. This is from a cycling trip yesterday.

Sean Duffy shouldn’t be allowed to operate a Tonka truck, let alone the USDOT: “…Duffy suggested to reporters that it might be better for the state to have some ‘skin in the game.’” #Maryland has already spent hundreds of million$, you dumb #RealityTV reject. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

We urge the City of Atlanta and the Atlanta Beltline to step up enforcement on the path and to start work on a parallel path to separate fast users on wheels from slow users on wheels. #Atlanta residents and visitors deserve a safer experience on this busy corridor. www.wsbtv.com/news/local/a...

Imagine if #Atlanta turned I-285/Perimeter into an urban boulevard. Or how about a similar treatment for the always-clogged Beltway around #WashingtonDC (too bad those toll lanes failed, eh?). That is what #Paris is doing to the Périphérique, which surrounds the city. www.paris.fr/pages/de-la-...
