California’s budget priorities are failing our streets. Governor Newsom’s May Revise doesn’t restore a single dollar to the Active Transportation Program — even after last year’s $400M cut left just 13 projects funded statewide. www.calbike.org/californias-...

The Bay Bridge has never truly connected the Bay—at least not for those of us walking or biking. That can change. Our friends at @bikeeastbay.bsky.social are pushing for the completion of the Bay Skyway: a 2-mile path linking the East Bay to downtown San Francisco.

NYC’s congestion pricing is a policy miracle: Less traffic, less noise, faster transit, more business sales, more transit revenue. And it hasn’t produced the negative effects outside the cordon zone we were afraid of. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Great to see mutual aid among agencies when problems happen. "Caltrain will honor valid BART tickets and passes until further notice" standardizing regional fares was recommended in region's fare policy vision - the study showed it would increase ridership - would be good to do this all the time.

Mobility is a right—so why is it denied to so many? For immigrants and refugees in California, simply walking to the bus stop or riding a bike to work can carry outsized risks: racial profiling, over-policing, and the constant threat of detention. (A brief thread)

A die-in at City Hall to protest transportation cuts highlights how an underfunded department can't deliver both "car-free" games and "zero death" streets — any guesses which one they're going to choose

In addition to transit and bike+transit directions, I’ve become totally obsessed with .using just biking directions on @transit.app. The stress level indicators on routing are great. And you can customize walking and riding speeds. Why did I mess with Google maps for so long?

I’m jealous of all who went 2 the @thewaroncars.bsky.social event last night at The Cedar.I’ve never been more certain of the belief that any humane way forward as a country must involve centering our communities around people-powered human movement and public transit instead of privately owned cars

210 bikeways are coming in 2026 from Caltrans. But 75% are Class II—just paint next to traffic. Protected lanes save lives. We need infrastructure that meets the moment.

Isla Vista is built for walking, but when cars park too close to corners, lives are at risk. AB 413 bans this—but without enforcement, visibility vanishes. Safety laws only work if we apply them. Based on a letter to the Santa Barbara Independent: www.independent.com/2025/04/02/n...
