The rumors are true! We're the first government agency to release a makeup line. Our 'Eyes On The Road' eyeshadow palette will raise awareness about the dangers of distracted driving. Look where you're going, and look good doing it.

Look at these #daylighting/curb extensions on this intersection! Every time I walk or #bikenyc thru here I feel like I could just lay down in the roadway for minutes if I wanted to! 😀 @OpenPlans Good job here by @NYC_DOT to slow drivers and visually warn drivers.

From working long and irregular hours to successfully dealing with any and all situations that arise, we can wholeheartedly say being a transit driver is one of the most respectable jobs. So, thank your transit driver a little more today! 💓

"A complete streets stamp doesn't make a street safe." We must build streets that prioritize the safety of all road users. Small and intentional changes on our streets can make a huge difference. Check out this awesome new video by @StrongTowns: youtube.com/watch?v=dBXz9vAy…

There's no tradeoff between safe streets and streets where people feel happy to be.

American suburbs could be dreamy. There is hope! The big decisions are made at the *local* level.

Achieving zero traffic deaths is possible for North American cities. So how did Jersey City do it?

By creating safe spaces for people to walk and bike we can help make the decision to make multimodal trips a reality for folks in our community.

Crosswalks don’t do much for pedestrians if they do nothing for drivers.
