Guys, is it starting? Are fire departments discovering they can drive slightly smaller trucks without fires becoming emboldened? That they can work with other public goals and maintain capability? Deputy Chief: “Charlottesville is a very bike-friendly community, walk-friendly community. One of the expectations we hear often is about getting smaller fire trucks,” Broscious said. “They’re easier to drive and maneuver through city streets.” The arrival of the newest engine means that the city’s front line is now entirely comprised of new, smaller models. He said these new trucks have a low hose bed, a shorter wheelbase that’s able to turn a lot easier than the classic, over-sized fire trucks. Community member: “Having the city proactively getting these smaller trucks means that hopefully we’ll be able to have narrower streets. That makes room for bikes and walking, but it also makes the road itself safer for everybody...I’m so excited to see the city taking actual concrete steps to follow through on its goals of being a safer, more walkable, more bikeable city.” Also as a side note see the pretty little gold filigree on the door that says “Class I ISO”? Turns out a smaller truck doesn’t suddenly cause them to lose ISO rating status or violate some mythical NFPA standard that equates truck size to capable response. Now - Someone get me in touch so I can help them save money via commercial chassis instead of being abused by Pierce with an all-custom setup next time. And start a conversation about cheaper turntable ladders with superior capability.

Cambridge is building a bike network, not a patchwork of bike lanes with unsafe gaps. In AlexandriaVA, gaps result from political decisions based on other than best engineering practices. I have receipts.

Please help the Virginia Bicycle Federation as we advocate for three changes to Virginia law this year to improve bicycle safety. If you live in Virginia, please show your support for our work through this campaign. waba.quorum.us/campaign/1518…

Bike lanes ✅ Reduce crashes ✅ Increase access ✅ Reduce car traffic Just one example from DC:

While most transit agencies think their job starts and ends at the turnstile, Dutch railways operate as a door-to-door mobility provider. By investing in bike parking and sharing, their ridership and revenue levels have increased, creating a virtuous circle of sustainable travel.

Celebrated @DASHBus two new electric articulated buses - growing the largest electric fleet in Virginia! Alexandria is a leader in the National Capital Region when it comes transit w/fare free service & improved routes, investments in dedicated lanes and multimodal connectivity.

If red-light cameras are a cash grab, who are they grabbing cash from?

My mom just told me she cancelled her subscription to The Washington Post. She reads every one of my stories. It was a heartbreaking call. I understand why she did it, but I asked her to reconsider. To anyone who has cancelled or is thinking about cancelling, here’s what I said:
