And meanwhile, Musk says Tesla is three weeks from taking the safety operators out of the Austin robotaxis

What I post from giphy.com/gifs/star-tr...

“There is a distinct lack of safe #bike lanes in #Atlanta. With no bike lanes on high-traffic roads, options are limited. ‘I need to ride on the sidewalk,’ says Chilly’o, ‘Because roads are dangerous, but then I’m endangering pedestrians.’“ Council must fix this. voxatl.org/atlanta-need...

Motorist selfishness & cowardly politicians defeated #VisionZero. The lesson is that advocates must organize, refuse to compromise, & intimidate just like opponents have do. It’s also good to shame opponents for putting convenience ahead of #publicsafety. 📰 www.washingtonpost.com/business/int...

Avoid #Tesla: “All but one of the bottom ten brands in the list are American. The best of the worst was Chevrolet at a score of 40. But Tesla makes that failing grade seem respectable with its absolute rock bottom rating of 31, trailing Jeep by just one point.” futurism.com/advanced-tra...

You know your Secretary of the USDOT might not be the best in history when he goes on about how people should dress for a ride in a flying cattle car instead of trying to fix the chaos in the skies and at #airports. #aviation #transportation #SeanDuffy 📰 www.washingtonpost.com/travel/2025/...

#Waymo, unsafe at any speed: “On a recent Thursday in Pacific Heights, a Waymo at a multilane four-way stop hit the gas along with the car next to it so it wouldn’t have to wait its turn. Seconds later, the same car decided signaling a lane change wasn’t necessary.” 😬 📰 www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...

Right wingers & reactionaries lost when Brooklyn’s Court Street gained a bike lane. It’s now safer, quieter, easier to cross the street, bikes and cars aren’t intermixed, and car traffic doesn’t speed only to halt at reds. And contrary to their lies, ambulances move just fine:

#Vineyards in #NapaValley are ceasing the use of #Roundup because it is incredibly dangerous. For the sake of yourself, your family, and your neighbors, do not use this Monsanto Company product. 📰 www.sfchronicle.com/food/wine/ar... 🍏 apple.news/AQoMPsuyzQQ6...

Many believe that traffic is like water. Widen the channel, or highway, and traffic will flow more easily. Too bad that doesn’t work. betteratlantatransit.org/blog/water-t...

Subway! 🚇🤔 No, highways! 🛣️ 😖 No, BRT! 🚌 🫤 No, light rail! 🚉 😑 Leaders in #Baltimore & #Maryland must look to The #Netherlands, where #transportation is handled via an efficient combo: #Bikes 🚲 + Regional #Rail 🚃. Decisiveness & practicality required…🙄 www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...?

A nasty combination of incompetent #government, #climatechange, and lack of #construction standards may doom a major city. For once, it’s not in the US. foreignpolicy.com/2025/11/26/t...

“He became keenly aware of the deleterious effects of truck #pollution after watching his students — many of whom live in the flatlands around I-880 — place inhalers on their desks after recess.” #Caltrans & the #trucking industry are making #kids suffer. 📰 www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

The car isn’t just a means of #transportation. It’s a means to unleash one’s inner sociopath: “Reza told police she felt the impact from hitting the buggy, but she continued driving because she didn’t want to be late for work, the affidavit said.” www.pennlive.com/crime/2025/1...

Wrong (🍏 apple.news/ACsrCgnaDRNa...): “Supporters of the toll roads…point to data indicating they improve commutes in the free lanes and argue they are a form of congestion pricing that keeps demand from rising so high that gridlock reemerges.” Correct take via @ucdavis.bsky.social in the comments.

The 9/11 attacks killed 2977 Americans. Our #transportation practices are now killing over twice that number each year. Where’s the outrage? 📰 www.washingtonpost.com/business/int...

While some #conservative politicians cling to #carbrained policies, those along the #Riviera / Côte d’Azur embrace #bikes & #walking. Why? 💶 💶 💶 “If you want to attract #tourists, you need an attractive city…Nobody’s going to sit and have a coffee in a parking lot.” www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Someone is going to blame the Cloudflare outage on cyclists. We’re responsible for all disruptions in this universe — ask any motorist. 🙄 #bikesky www.bbc.com/news/article...

Why we don’t talk about the Eastside #Atlanta Beltline streetcar much anymore: 1. The project was canceled. 2. Better #transit ideas exist— bus lanes, infill MARTA stations, etc. 3. The Beltline path needs attention. This piece concerns the latter. It’s a good start. www.ajc.com/opinion/2025...

#Atlanta has a golden opportunity with #TrailsATL to really stand out on the global stage by borrowing a page from the playbook #Paris has been using. 🇫🇷🚲🛴🦼🌆 Read my thoughts on this here👇 betteratlantatransit.org/blog/can-pat... #bikes #micromobility #transportation #cities

We appear to be in the alternate timeline where the Texas Department of Transportation admits that highways expansions aren’t the cure for highway congestion. 🤯 📰 www.texastribune.org/2025/11/10/t... 🍏 apple.news/A4ANEL6cpSsy...

Americans are now refugees within their own country thanks to #climatechange and lousy #government. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...?

Want more safe, dedicated #infrastructure for #bikes and other #micromobility on the Atlanta Beltline? Sign this petition. The Beltline needs a parallel path so that people on foot don’t have to play #Frogger with fast users. A speed limit would also help. #transportation. c.org/sHYJGkbWRr

Wasting a billion of taxpayer funds on a #football #stadium is bad. Naming it for #Trump, who is making the people of the #DMV suffer via the #shutdown and #ICE raids, is inexcusable. Shame on the Commanders & DC gov’t for even entertaining the notion. apple.news/A6mW2zcc_S52...

They didn’t win with absurdly expensive projects, but with focusing on low-cost solutions: #bikes and #buses.

You’ve probably seen articles about how #tech is embracing #nuclearpower as a means to run #AI data centers. This is what the consequences of that will be: radioactive #pollution. www.thecooldown.com/green-busine...

I do hope that Trump and his staff see this. It’s a harbinger of things to come.

Rather than back down on their shutdown, the Trump Administration is threatening to cancel all flights in the US before the Thanksgiving holiday. Better make your travel plans flexible! #shutdown #transportation #travel #aviation futurism.com/advanced-tra...

Rando: "Communist!" Zohran: "It's pronounced 'cyclist!" Zohran is so good at this. #Zohran #NewYork

A potential #Buc-ee's in #Colorado wrecked a town’s harmony and ended pro-sprawl politicians’ careers. Is the pushback a sign that the US is starting to reject #cars as a societal totem or is this merely a speedbump in the continuation of the nation’s #motonormativity? apple.news/AGLLrJFd-QD-...

#RealityTV is basically how Americans celebrate the most stupid individuals among them. With her latest #NASA Moon conspiracy nonsense, Kim Kardashian may have a lock on being the dumbest of them all. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The driver says his #Tesla wasn’t on #FSD, but that hasn’t stopped the Tesla Cult from falsely claiming otherwise. How is this #selfdriving #tech supposed to avoid a plane when it can’t even avoid a Wiley Coyote-style wall (example: youtube.com/shorts/U1Mig...)? electrek.co/2025/10/26/t...

These #Georgia cases involving #Ford show that the sheer weight of massive vehicles can crush vehicle occupants in a rollover crash. The myth that large, heavy vehicles are safer is busted. It’s not a matter of clever #lawyers, but of #physics. apple.news/A66nVsMyrSxa...

Despite the unforeseen issues that arose during construction, this rubber tire #transit project will likely come in at 1/4 the cost of a tram. Best of all, it connects to— but doesn’t disrupt— the Atlanta Beltline. www.bizjournals.com/atlanta/news...

Another broken promise from an administration that is clearly broken. #infrastructure #regulation #transportation #transit 📰https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2025/10/trump-infrastructure-red-tape/684585/ 🍏https://apple.news/A1AW2szydReqE_h_BGEudhg

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...
