Nice to have some good news for a change! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

10 years on from the Paris Agreement, my message for fossil fuel companies is clear: get on board with a green future, or get left behind. London is leading the way, now we need businesses and governments around the world to step up.

Every city has its Main Street. Streets with active shoppers, lots of stores, delivery vans, buses, maybe some housing above the retail level. Instead of making your Main Street just another four lane car street, how taking a car lane and creating a place that invites people, young & old? #Utrecht

The world is full of drivers who pass you so they can wait at the traffic light directly in front of you instead of directly behind you.

At long last, a positive shared vision for railways in the North. 🙌🏻 #BeeNetworkRail will be a game-changer for GM. 🐝

Advent Calendar – Day 11 A Look into the Past Back in 1996–99, volunteers began clearing the canal channel at what’s now Fosseway Heath and caught sight of trains on the old Walsall to Lichfield line! The line closed in 2001, and today the former track is a footpath. #UKRailways #WeDigCanals

🚨🚗💨 Thanks to Andy Burnham’s Greater Manchester, foothills and valleys of the Peak District fringe face the gravest threat of our lifetimes from huge new roadbuilding. Two severely harmful old road proposals have been dug up for TfGM’s 2050 transport plan. But you can choose a different way. 🌳👇

In our UK town centres people often comment that they are full of - “….vape shops, barbers, coffee shops and charity shops” What weighty, bulky purchases are people making requiring the necessity of a car or van to transport them? 🤔

when we say we need to fund the arts, this is what we mean

I've never seen anywhere that hasn't or would be improved by removing cars In London we had regent Street closed to cars, and soon Oxford Street will have vehicles removed I went to Woodstock in Oxfordshire and could only imagine how better it would be without it being essentially just a car park

Truth

Yep. @cheshire-east.bsky.social

NEW: 50+ transport and health groups have written to the Government calling for clear targets in the upcoming Cycling & Walking Investment Strategy 3, as well as a comprehensive plan for a national active travel network, matching the long-term strategic focus given to roads.

Meanwhile

Oxfordshire County Council has just published data on the first month of the congestion charge! Love the level of granularity. In summary, huge speed up in bus times in city centre, slight increase on some outer roads; massive city centre footfall growth. news.oxfordshire.gov.uk/promising-st...

On my new commute I usually have to stop at this junction. All the pedestrian crossings (purple) get a green light at the same time, which means all the vehicle traffic has a red light. Some pedestrians have realised that they can make a direct diagonal crossing (yellow) & save a lot of waiting 1/n

Rain or shine, day or night, warm or cold: if you built it, they will come. Bike lanes are mobility lanes. #StreetsNOTroads

Reform finding the job of governing more difficult than they imagined. Looks like the extra efficiency savings they promised after over a decade of them already didn't materialise.

🐚 Beachwatch data shows an 80% drop in carrier bags on beaches since charges began, but over 160,000 single-use plastic items were still found last year. Read Catherine’s full blog here: www.wcl.org.uk/where-are-we...

If you want to influence the answer, here are the six best ways to do so according to the social science of how individuals can catalyze systemic change: bsky.app/profile/kath...

Never forget, car dependency isn’t freedom. Some might ask “what’s more free than cars?” Choices. Choices are more free than car dependency. It’s not a hard concept. I’m not pitting cars against any other single mode of transport. I’m rejecting design that creates dependency on just one mode.

BREAKING: The Lib Dems 10-minute rule bill to rejoin the customs union has just passed! After a 100-100 tie the deputy speaker followed convention and cast the deciding vote in favour. It’s unlikely to get government time so probably won't progress - but indicates strength of feeling on this issue

Freedom. Drivers freedom to kill by driving oversized and overly dangerous vehicles. These young people did not have to die. 😢 But they did because we were too scared to limit drivers and vehicle manufacturers freedoms. Incredibly sad. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Bike lanes are not... a turn lane, a passing lane, a temporary parking spot. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

In addition to all of the other benefits already reported about NYC congestion pricing, "In the first six months of the program, air pollution – in the form of particulate matter 2.5 micrometers and smaller – dropped by 22% in the Congestion Relief Zone (CRZ)" news.cornell.edu/stories/2025...

The U.S. government's WWII-era Victory Bike program encouraged adult cycling using bare-bones bicycles in an effort to conserve valuable resources. While the program wasn't a complete failure, after the war adult cycling didn't catch on, with people associating it with wartime deprivation.

What about not kill people?

Please can everyone do the CWIS consultation! We need our voices to be heard and the numbers of people and strength of feeling to be felt by politicians and policymakers.

The DESC system in Scotland is in place. It's a waste of time. Police still need to visit and you're still dependant on those particular officers actually giving a toss. Sometimes you never hear from them again. There is NO road justice in Scotland. ☹️ road.cc/content/news...

Utrecht has made space not just for bikes, but for trees. Trees are prioritized, given space, and maintained by the municipality, not just in parks, but along every road that is developed. A resilient city prepares for the future on a warming planet.
