wild though that dallas has such an extensive transit system for a city which has been in my experience pretty blatantly and unapologetically classist

Great read on how Calgary can have one of the most expensive transit fares and also comically bad transit service

New Sprawlcast out this morning! Mmmm... I do love me some transit butter. You can listen to the episode or read the article version (or do both!) as you see fit. #yyccc

I hope the new transit stop in Federal Way continues to fuel housing and the local economy in King County. Accessible, affordable transportation supports jobs, families, and the local economy.

Federal Way banks on light rail to fuel housing, commercial growth
Federal Way can look to Lynnwood for a blueprint for new transit-oriented growth.

Bike lanes and multi-modal roads come up often in our conversations with community members. What do you think of this data and how do you think it should inform policy? mass.streetsblog.org/2025….

Boston Data Show New Bike Lanes Successfully Shift Traffic, With Fewer Cars and Way More Bikes - Streetsblog Massachusetts
Mayor Wu has hard evidence that her bike lane projects are helping reduce traffic – but her administration is reluctant to share it.

There is such a gordian knot of policy decisions that it seems impossible at times to get out of it.
Transit doesn’t work for suburban sprawl, which forces car ownership, which creates car dependent development, which kills urban places, which creates suburbs.
OB Cycler@obcycler.bsky.social
Many of us starting as bike advocates get pulled into being housing yimbys, because we see how land use enforces car dependency.

Nice little video about public transport in Rotterdam. It's gets a bit... er, detailed about the history of specific metro lines, but the first ten mins or so shows a lot of my adopted home. 😊

This feels like an underappreciated problem:
"Of more than 700 locations sampled, 61% exceeded aquatic life thresholds set by the EPA...60% of samples blew past the accepted healthy drinking water standard."

High levels of road salt in Pa., N.J., Del. pollute streams months past winter
Road salt applied during winter storms runs off into the groundwater and emerges in surface water streams months later. Advocates say roads can be made safe with less salt.

Is CDOT or Streets and San going to clear this from the Kinzie bike lane, or are we just waiting for it to melt?

All BRT in the twin cities should have separated bus lanes. The A line and any local routes with one snelling lane just for the BRT would be a game changer.

On the bright side, at least new bike lane has been plowed.

In Oregon we do things politely. This is the polite way to call out our current lack of leadership on transit funding. (Big service cuts coming in Portland next year, and in many other agencies in the state.)

Overexposure to harmful chemicals found in plastic is damaging people’s health; that’s why we need legislation like the Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act to regulate these chemicals and protect public health.

I rode a crowded bus with my big suitcase to the train station and then I had to get a taxi to the airport from there because trains weren't running. This is where my faith in our transit system gets me
maybe there ageric to gagobears@creaturesoflove.bsky.social
Taking the bus or the train is so much less stressful to me than taking a taxi or an uber AND. It costs like 3 dollars
