At this point, solving climate change is cheaper than not solving it -- not only on some grand 50 year time horizon, but tomorrow, today, immediately. Soving climate change *is* affordability. Maybe Dems should tell voters about that.

Joey should have called you @erinfor12.bsky.social!

Really we all should root for a Knicks-Sixers playoff series every year because it’s one of the few matchups where the teams commute back and forth via chartered Amtrak trains instead of chartered flights. Tons of C02 emissions saved (Sixers boarding train pics from 2024)

bus bunching can happen to trains as well 10-minute headways slip to a 20-min gap followed by 5-min headways

getting a ride home from the airport at 102.1 mph

"Chevron executive says Americans should drive less" is just chef's kiss

the most important step when moving to a new city is getting registered for a library card! 109 homes affordable to those making 30-80% ami are located above my closest branch library that just opened in January fronting the city link red frequent transit line

neil’s best friends remind us all about bike lanes www.wkrn.com/news/local-n...

all of my favorite leaders are celebrating investing in transit on this happy monday

Monday 6pm until late? Maria Bonita’s 895 Bell Road Antioch, TN 37013 🚌 via Route 55

saw some nashville landmarks on the walk from the light rail to our apartment

The bus is capped at $4 per day. Ride the people’s limousine to fight against unjust wars.

oh, you support multifamily housing? what about the unrelated roommates parking unrelated school buses in your back yard?!

this old tweet just seems to be relevant way too often

remember when Metro Council approved $2.6 million in September for @nashvilledot.bsky.social to install and pilot raptor retractable bollards in November? it is now March. maybe the next NDOT director will learn to read a calendar www.wkrn.com/news/local-n...

You could do this, or you can continue to complain on the internet

evergreen tweet

had to be at myatt this morning and noticed they updated some of the signs 🫠

it’s fun when contractors make lovely little traffic control plans and file permits for a lane closure and explicitly state that southbound traffic will remain open but then violate the permit and close the whole street

it's good to see local news calling them what they are: toll lanes youtu.be/B29VFaTa508?...

some interesting details on Nolensville Pike All Access Corridor starting at about 25 minutes: youtu.be/AIofLCNWKnk?...

That’s right

i bet CM Johnston is now wishing we had hacked some more of the trees

got queue jumped even in the snow … should have taken the bus to work today

TDOT Smartway cameras in Jackson show that the snow is real and is heading our way. Next closest cameras are 80-90 miles east in Dickson and are still showing dry roads.

If you haven’t heard WeGo will be operating on a Level 3 snow plan, which means service will only operate on major routes and on snow detours. These routes operate on TDOT and NDOT’s primary treatment routes, so we can expect these roads to remain passable throughout the weekend. But expect delays.

The January MTA Board Meeting will be starting soon at the GNRC building in Nashville’s favorite sub-urban office park: MetroCenter! (But at least there’s a bus in the Google Maps street view image) You can watch live here: www.youtube.com/live/A5HXpSk...

an event where you start at one location and march to another location is an especially good one to take the bus to! no issues with where to leave your car and how to get back to your car. always good to have at least one voice in the room to remind folks.

it’s very funny how just transparently illegal so many suburban governments function not even trying to hide the requirement of “voluntary impact fees” from developers in exchange for allowing higher density just straight up asking “what has always been the quid pro quo … is it higher density?”

Exciting unsolicited proposal at yesterday’s RTA board meeting. LDG is seeking to build mixed-income housing on a parcel adjacent to Hermitage station. They are seeking a long-term easement to use part of the RTA property for site access/parking to maximize the building footprint on their site.

“We’ve got 526 square miles to use for potential housing … but not there or there and we can’t do it there and that place won’t work and definitely not there” — @mayor.nashville.gov

It seems the nonprofit organization set up to push for a Memphis-to-Atlanta Amtrak line has a website

Murfreesboro Transit to launch new pilot route

Every single CM who has a sidewalk/traffic calming/bikeway project that is behind schedule should be asking how much time and money were spent on taking away seating, lying about concrete balls as seating and public art, and redesigning concrete balls as fake seating.

what percentage of WeGo riders do you think receive trash pick up subsidized by the metro general fund?

It's Monday. Our Chief of Pizza and Parking is busy being a parent or something, but we'll be at Urban Cowboy downtown from 6ish on. Cmon out.

You live in Brentwood? Oh you’re so brave, I could never! Is it safe? Like can you walk down the street?

we paid 3x this amount for global mall with plans to build … pretty much just a transit center there as well

wish we had a mayor who viewed affordable housing fronting a frequent transit route and one of the first BRT corridors as a community asset and public good

they are throwing yet another peak bus onto the 55 to improve reliability as they launch adaptive headway management on the corridor so now route 55 riders will get to wait on 16 buses stuck in traffic instead of just 15!

lmao so the plan is to host a super bowl at the new stadium five years before we build the relevant portion of the six lane superhighway that simply ~must~ be six lanes because of the traffic demand modeling

According to Waymo consultant Brad Templeton, the solution to Waymo vehicles breaking the law by passing stopped school buses is to change the law and replace all school buses with Waymos. www.forbes.com/sites/bradte...

love that @transit.app is doing a year in review now! i wonder what the WeGo board members’ numbers look like

TRANSIT RIDERS ON TRANSIT BOARDS

everybody's doing it ... (headway-managed operations to improve reliability and reduce bunching)
