Look how easily and cheaply we could install safe infrastructure.
The City of Boston now has 100 miles of comfortable biking in the city.

Someday, a rapid transit bus line of zero emission buses could stretch up Division St. from downtown Spokane all the way out to Mead. This is just one of the many dreams laid out in STA's ten-year strategic plan (& it's not too late to have a say): rangemedia.co/sta-lays-out-i…

I know there's only so much enforcement can do to make our streets safer, but I'm convinced we could significantly reduce the number of folks killed and injured by drivers almost overnight by immediately impounding any vehicle with obscured license plates like this.

Every 15 minutes has become the gold standard for "so frequent you don't need to check a schedule", but if that 15 minute bus runs 2 minutes early and you miss it, you're not gonna make the connection to that every-50-minute bus down the line.

Self-driving cars are not the answer. @humantransit: "Cars are the most inefficient use of scarce space ever invented at scale. Further expansion may seem equitable, but it delivers only...misery as congestion strangles all movement, including public transit"
I agree that the self driving revolution, if indeed it is here, is going to be spectacular. It's also going to be devastating to dense cities, unless decongestion pricing becomes the norm.

The “27 by 2027 Urban Mobility Network” would fortify a few of Spokane’s many existing neighborhood streets to make them comfortable for users of all ages and abilities to walk, ride a bike or use a mobility device. rangemedia.co/spokane-27-mil…

How much overtime is in response to traffic collisions?

Replying to @RANGEMedia4all
Matt Boston, the CFO, is requesting the city allocate more money to pay for Spokane Fire Department's overtime - they've gone over budget.

Using parked cars and paint & post buffers for bike lanes can have an incredible impact on multimodal safety. Deaths & injuries dropped dramatically on the former "Boulevard of Death" in NYC.

It's all in the land use.

In the past 55 years, the amount of children who walk to school has declined from 40.7% to 11%. Why? Because the built environment has transformed in ways that make walking to school unsafe and nearly impossible.

If you were in charge of making America healthy again, what is the first policy you'd implement? (please don't say ban seed oils)

There's nothing economical or convenient about big box stores like Walmart, those are just the kind of stores you need when you create a car dependent environment. Many suburbanites believe they're getting a good deal at Walmart and Costco, they're wrong.
