Our new study in @Elsevier looked at the link between perceived and actual #trafficrisk in small #Texas towns. We found drivers don't always accurately judge high crash zones. Demographics and infrastructure features were important predictors. #roadsafety

Interesting new article from @transportpolicy on #ebike rebate programs. One notable finding was that ebikes replaced car trips! @DavidZipper #ebikes #micromobility #ActiveTravel

New study of e-bike rebates finds that the average recipient reduced their COâ‚‚ emissions by 12-44 kg/month. That's roughly equivalent to 30-110 miles/month of driving.
Not too shabby!

#ebikes continue to out sell cars in the U.S. Planners and researchers alike need to remain steadfast on promoting safe #ebicycling for all. #Equity #sustainabletransportation @BrentToderian #transportationplanning #ActiveTravel

E-cars were 9% of car sales in 2022, and the e-car fleet was under 17 million worldwide.
E-bike sales were at 275 million.
Politicians and policy-makers, stop ignoring e-bikes. Via @treehugger treehugger.com/stop-ignoring…

Just a few years ago, micromobility experienced rapid expansion, contraction, and everything in between. Now cities are taking it seriously. Despite the pandemic, momentum is building for #micromobility. #SharedMobility #LastMileSolutions #BikeShare #ebike shorturl.at/xDFU9

Now this must be why #escooters are hated by some #pedestrians. How hard is it to park an #escooter properly? #escooterissues #escooterkrakow #parkingkrakow #escooterchallenge #krakowescooter
