Wrapping up 2025 with my top reads! Without a doubt the main themes are dealing with change & understanding humans, nature, tech and their intersections. @nondriver.bsky.social @naomiaklein.bsky.social @drkatemarvel.bsky.social @amalelmohtar.com @veronicaodavis.bsky.social @peterbrownstudio.com

Yesterday was everything we could have hoped for! Thanks to the Chapel Hill Public Library for hosting us, author and transportation advocate @veronicaodavis.bsky.social for delivering our keynote, and so many others for attending our 2nd Annual Regional Safety Summit! #TriangleWest #SafetySummit

For today’s #LayoverLibrary, I’m reading ‘Inclusive Transportation’ by @veronicaodavis.bsky.social. The book is a must have for any planner or project manager, and offers a framework for better engaging with diverse communities in transportation projects.

TONIGHT’S new-ish book in the #UrbanismBookClub is an important one — “Inclusive Transportation: A Manifesto for Repairing Divided Communities” by @veronicaodavis.bsky.social via @islandpress.bsky.social (2023). Foreword by @tamikabutler.bsky.social, cover art by @martyn.bsky.social. Great read. 2/

I took @veronicaodavis.bsky.social’s advice and just finished ‘When Driving is Not an Option’ by @nondriver.bsky.social. Honestly can’t recommend this book highly enough, especially if you work in/around transport. Involuntary nondrivers need more recognition, voice & power in decision making.

I see you @veronicaodavis.bsky.social 👀💖

Also chapters by @veronicaodavis.bsky.social @theycallmeoboi.bsky.social and lots of others. Just downloaded! #Bikes4Climate #RoadSafety #Cities4Climate #infrastructure #GreenInfrastructure #ClimateEquity #resilience #MoveEquity #trust #HealthyAging #ClimateAction #MobilityJustice #community

Happy #earthday! What better time to share the news that I'm featured in @islandpress.bsky.social's new e-book, Resilience Matters: Ten Years of Transformative Thinking. My piece urges greater focus on older adults' needs in climate action. Get your free copy here: islandpress.org/ten-years-tr....

Late reply, but I didn't see anyone mention "Inclusive Transportation" by @veronicaodavis.bsky.social and had to right that.

😒😒😒 and 10 of y’all don’t know how to stick to the script.

HE SAID WHAT HE SAID!!! First of all, Rep Green is about his business. Of all the project briefings I had to do with the Houston delegation, he made every one and he was always so kind! Second of all, THESE ARE NOT NORMAL TIMES. This is the energy we need.

I loved working for him.

BlueSky - Has anyone done a study on the walk speed of a teenager? Specifically, around high schools and especially if they are in groups?

I officially deleted my X/Twitter account. With many of the reasonable people gone the BOT and people paid to spread misinformation is obvious.

People experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position.

And they did it on fixed gear bikes since manual shift levers for derailleurs didn't start to appear on the pro circuit or on high end mainstream bikes until the 30s.
