Ambassadors held 68 events w/ 3000+ convos in 2025. That's a lot of conversations!

VZ ambassadors have sometimes been involved in traffic crashes, or lost family to traffic violence. Helps build trust in their outreach in communities.

Ambassadors do 8 events, flexible to what they want to do, reaching 10-15 people per event. "Ambassadors are in spaces we are not."

Onboard & train thru annual VZ conference

Applications jumped from 147 to 296 from 2025 to 2026, "we're hoping that's not a sign of a recession coming.."

Recruit widely AND include a targeted applicant selection criteria related to High Injury Network and upcoming project areas

Funded thru CTSP (NHTSA), $1750 stipend for ambassadors

Great article about a great plan. "'While the plan may seem revolutionary, it is the opposite,' Newman wrote, perhaps anticipating howls from the car-owning fauxgressives of the East Side." Now there's an evergreen sentence frame if I ever saw one ... nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/30/t...

One of my kids is rapidly aging/sizing out of his Cleary Owl 20" 3-speed bike. Got seatpost as high as it will go, and it's still not high enough. Turns 8 in November. DM me if you (or somebody you know) has a 20" 5/6-speed bike w/ lever brakes to offload... Or who wants a well-loved Cleary Owl!

Why are buses replacing Green Line trains this weekend? Primarily, so we can replace sections of cracked rail. We’re also using this time to deep clean stations and make other repairs. Thank you for your patience while we care for your system!

"There’s a reason a single protected bike lane in Washington, D.C. is suddenly drawing attention from cyclists hundreds—or thousands—of kilometres away. Because for many advocates, this isn’t just about one safe protected bike lane. It’s a precedent."

"The mother and son ... remained at Dilley for more than three weeks. Immigration officials confiscated the boy’s stuffed dinosaur toy and winter hat. At Dilley, they were provided with expired and spoiled food, which the child refused to eat." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Yes! And I strongly recommend people read the pithy and passionate "Field of Schemes" (book or blog) which opened my eyes even wider about the myriad & hidden ways that publicly-financed stadiums are a total corporate racket & giveaway to moneyed interests. www.fieldofschemes.com

Good to see a DOT delivering on a multimodal project with *significant* improvements for people walking, rolling, biking, and riding transit. And in a state where cross-jurisdictional cat-herding is famously difficult, this one is especially impressive! mass.streetsblog.org/2026/04/13/e...
