Essential reading from @ginnymonk.bsky.social, as always. There was such an amazing blend of experts and advocates testifying on behalf of parking reform today, but this quote from @katerozen.bsky.social is 🔥 ““I think we have to look at this from a frame of reality” ctmirror.org/2025/02/28/c...

listening to CT transportation legislative committee with DOT commissioner testifying. Rep O’Dea who previously opposed speed cameras now says “i was wrong” and now supports them 100%, wants to fund as many as DOT would like

Applauding the evolution of Rep O'Dea on automated enforcement. He used to be a hard no and today in the transportation committee public hearing, he said "I was wrong" and is talking about how the legislature can fund work zone cameras asap.

The Trump admin is causing chaos in transport research. Studies have been canceled, datasets have vanished, and experts have been fired. The Nat'l Academies’ Transportation Research Board has caved to Trump’s demands for censorship, triggering upheaval. Its future is in doubt. From me (w/scoops) 🧵

The Shoreline East bill comes up in the CGA Transportation Committee public hearing this week and I love to show this slide from ConnDOT from the 2022 CT Commuter Rail Council (now known as CT Public Transportation Council). SLE is the only line that has NOT had their service restored post-COVID.

Association of Metropolitan Planning Organizations is reporting that the US DOT has paused the approvals of changes to regional short-term transportation plans (STIPs). Unclear why DOT is requiring general counsel review of STIP amendments. This could delay investment in projects nationwide.

Justice delayed Defendants have to show up to court over and over, wait hours for their case to be called. Years: that's how long cases take to be resolved. Almost no cases go to trial. Hundreds plead guilty each month just to leave prison. "The process is part of the punishment"

Reading this research in the most negative light for vehicle automation: - Automation led to higher speeds while passing and less separation compared to a human driver - Messages about the bicyclist being detected led to higher speeds while passing, less separation, and less focus on the bicyclist

We had to evacuate this morning due to a fuel leak and the damage in our neighborhood includes multiple downed trees. Public servants that protect our infrastructure and aren’t bought and paid for by the utility companies save lives.
