RT @npub16kq…n4j6 “Officials do not believe the crash was terror-related.”
It wasn’t? How does constant traffic violence— people being killed and maimed by drivers every day—affect you? How do you feel about your children walking to school? Or your elderly mom crossing the street?

@npub1l0s…pgrv Good job starting on the Hudson side, it's going to get crowded later for the fireworks display!

RT @randimarshall@bird.makeup One of our letter writers today suggested lowering the congestion toll to $5, saying that would “produce revenue and not discourage me and others from driving in.” Let’s be clear. The POINT is to discourage you from driving in. This is not and must not be only about MTA revenue. https://newsday.com/opinion/editorials/congestion-pricing-metropolitan-transportation-authority-kathy-hochul-mta-lirr-ijy7ye2r

Anniversary blog post from May 28, 2010: We do not make just one mode choice. We make mode choices repeatedly, of at least three kinds: Single Trips, Habits and Investments. We're not going to get people out of cars by addressing only one kind of choice.

RT @npub13n0…7vhc The NYPD is still writing 92 percent of its tickets for "jaywalking" to Blacks and Latinos.

RT @npub1nfz…erg3: Nissan collects some of the creepiest categories of data, including “sexual activity.” So does Kia. Oh, and six car companies say they can collect your “genetic information” or “genetic characteristics.”

RT @npub1vym…a8a2: “We don’t ask everyone to filter their water at their home. We build it into the system.”
Good analogy by @npub1cqh…2pxz showing why road safety should focus on safer streets/vehicles & reliable enforcement -- not placing all responsibility on drivers.

RT @npub12qs…gq0s: Eliminating parking minimums is good, but what if we instituted a HOUSING minimum for every existing parking space? In order to keep the space, there must be a certain number of OCCUPIED housing units within a 15 min walk. If not, it must be converted.
Homes for people, not cars.
