Pedestrian killed while trying to cross RT-22 in Union County. People who don’t have a car have no choice sometimes but to cross these dangerous highways, because there isn’t really any safe way to cross. www.tapinto.net/towns/union/...

Officially reopened last month, Utrecht's Park Paardenveld has been reimagined as a climate-resilient, people-focused public space. While the park itself first emerged from the restoration of the Catharijnesingel, its redesign turns leftover urban space dominated by cars into a true community park.🧵

Useless Light Rail on July 4th weekend! Why isn’t there an alert in the NJ Transit app about no service? Why does the Transit app say there is MORE service? Yet, they are still playing @mikiesherrill.bsky.social announcement about how great this state is! 😡😡😡

Indeed, Hudson County ranks #5 nationwide among counties (after 4 NYC counties) in terms of share of commuters traveling to work by transit! www.thetransportpolitic.com/databook/us-...

So, is this bus coming at 9:10 or 9:15? This is really confusing for the customer. @customeradvocate.bsky.social

This bus stop on Bergenline Ave 77th St. is constantly blocked. @customeradvocate.bsky.social

Car dependency is a public health crisis

Vancouver, do you really want this to end when the #WorldCup does? It should just be the beginning. And not just for Granville Street.

I have turned my @bunchbike.com into a mobile World Cup watch party. I wasn’t sure if it would work, but honestly, it seems like it could work pretty well.

This Sunday we'll begin at our usual starting point of Hamilton Park in Weehawken, ride up to Braddock Park, then head south to Union City, checking out the newly painted bike lanes in West New York along the way. See you at 11! ridewithgps.com/routes/55721...

All on our way to the triple cantilever ... Karl-Anthony Towns are you busy rn

6/14/2026: 225 dead in 164 days on New Jersey roads in 2026 so far including 69peds + 7cyclists, every single one killed, either in or by being hit by a car, truck or bus KSI trend on NJ roads is up. Trenton fiddles with e-bike laws while Rome burns 🎻🔥🚲 ##bikesky #bikeped #safestreets #visionzero

After another large vehicle nearly took the life of a child, SafeStreetsJC Board Member Ashley Swiggett spoke at Council this week on the need for accelerated Vision Zero improvements: • Hard infrastructure • Narrowed lanes & 20 mph • Automated enforcement • Large trucks off residential streets

Tonight is the first World Cup games in the Meadowlands! Stay safe and plan extra time for travel ... and don't plan on walking like @mosesnyc.bsky.social did https://youtube.com/shorts/iALpJa3pFoc?si=5HxO3pmjJkBbh8b7

People across North America would like to keep the temporary public plazas created for the World Cup. Seattle edition:

Seattle is dojng it for the World Cup, on game days for limited times. They are also expanding pedestrian zones in other places secretseattle.co/seattle-worl...

The pedestrianization of Broadway through the heart of Manhattan just expanded, and it's glorious:

If the Knicks win the finals this year we're ripping this down with our bare hands

How many more studies does your city need proving that people on bikes and on foot spend more on shopping streets than people in cars? Bike-lanes mean business. #UrbanTruth

This is your city telling you bike riders don’t matter

Has your “city” made walking dangerous and illegal too?

Every piece of media release from them for months has said ALL lines.

Great news that the Sherril administration is restoring lost bus service to central Jersey. They should do even more - by adding bus lanes on the turnpike, and making bus travel fast - further incentivizing a switch from car to bus commute. www.northjersey.com/story/news/t...

Say hello to our new Bunch Bike! 👋 This will be the new urban minivan for the Mrs and our daughter. There will be more to come about this and we hope to serve as information and inspiration on what these bikes can do for people's lives. 👉 @bunchbike.com 👈

5/19/2016: A child riding their bicycle a few blocks from Brick Memorial High School was killed Tuesday morning in a hit-and-run crash involving a juvenile driver, investigators said. #njcrash #bikeped #saferoutestoschool #completestreets

This story is really awful. I won't forget it, I hope you won't too @njassemblydems.bsky.social

Helsinki has opened a remarkable new bridge for trams, cycling and walking! The new Kruunuvuorensilta cuts the cycling distance to the city centre in half, while cars still need to take the long route. I cycled across the bridge just 3 weeks after the opening. My latest blog post and video:

I've been using the new NJTRANSIT app for two months now and here are some issues I've encountered. CC: @customeradvocate.bsky.social 1. On some bus stops the filter shows all the wrong bus lines.

Does anyone here work at American Dream mall and commute there using NJ TRANSIT? If so, want to talk to me about how you plan to get there on World Cup game days amid reduced bus service on NJT? Get in touch - [email protected].

#JCcrashes Duncan & JFK, a driver hurt a pedestrian in a hit-and-run this morning. It appears serious crash investigators are on scene. We are hoping for the best for the victim. @hudcostreets.org #FixJFKBlvd

We need raised crosswalks everywhere. A level crossing prioritizes human movement and accessibility, while the physical rise acts as forced friction, demanding speed compliance from motorists. We must stop relying on signs and start relying on physical design.

Day 19 of #30DaysOfBiking I helped the kids clean out their bookshelves this weekend & today we rode around, dropping off about 75 books they don’t read anymore into Little Free Libraries across the neighborhood. 🚲 ❤️ 📖

Our first ride of the year is this tomorrow! We'll meet up at 10:30 at Hamilton Park, Weehawken, and leave at 11. We'll ride through the Heights of Weehawken and Union City and down into Hoboken, then cruise along the Weehawken waterfront before finishing at the Pershing Road hill.

We can prevent road violence we just continually choose not to.

This morning, I had the chance to step aboard the very first new multilevel car delivered to NJ TRANSIT, which is expected to enter service this summer. These new cars will offer an improved onboard experience and greater service reliability.

"I broke the law, endangered my community, and now I'm the victim because driving safely isn't sexy." This is the exact entitlement that makes our streets too dangerous for kids to walk or bike to school. The carbrain mindset compounds itself.

Car culture is the dumbest of cultures.

Seven years without a driving license, and we’re still waiting to find the limits of the bike-train combination in the Netherlands. The latest: 100 km by rail from Delft to Tilburg, followed by a 20 km pedal through the Brabant countryside for a car-free weekend escape in the woods outside Diessen.

During the 1970s oil crisis, the Netherlands 🇳🇱 realized car dependency was a trap and built world-class bike infrastructure. The US 🇺🇸 just invented "Right on Red" to supposedly save gas and accepted the pedestrian casualties. Two approaches, two very different outcomes. A new NJB video. 👇

Okay CTA. This is a good sign.

The 2026 season of community bike rides is here! We'll be riding around Hudson County and beyond in 9 rides, running from this month to October. We hope to see you out there next Sunday!

👋Hey Light Rail and Bus riders! I’ll be at Exchange Place tomorrow (4/9) from 7–9 AM listening to your feedback about your NJ TRANSIT experience. Stop by and say hello—I’d love to hear from you!
