The city is really going hard at these ambiguous, "anyone can read themselves into these therefore it's a win" ads. I do find it interesting that the city is choosing to use an image where the person biking isn't wearing a helmet. Not to get into the debate about it, live your life, but the city is VERY consistent in their visual messaging with people wearing them #ottawa #ottbike #publictransportation

The city of #ottawa responded to the large push back on the "safer roads program" test ads... and agreed to pull them because of the term "jaywalking" ...

Not because anyone in public works involved in the creation and approval of this bullshit realized that, hey, we've created, perpetuated and criminalized people making choices outside of cars to keep themselves safe because the city is fundamentally hostile to folks outside of cars #ottbike #ottwalk #publictransportation

Did we use the QED to get to the lansdowne farmers market from bay Ward? Why yes, yes we did #ottawa #ottbike #publictransportation

Did you know that you can reduce your chance of being in an accident by more than 90% if you take #PublicTransportation instead of driving?

I hope everyone is enjoying showing their love for #PublicTransit this month! As we get closer to the date, I'm getting more excited about the event I'll be co-hosting for Transit Month: Transit Happy Hour!

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/san-jose-transit-happy-hour-transit-stops-drunk-driving-tickets-712109427467

We'll be discussing how transit reduces drunk driving. Voice for Public Transit just published a blog post about exactly what we'll be discussing. Did you know that traveling by public transportation is *10 times safer* per mile than traveling by automobile?

I’m pissed about this for a bunch of reasons but honestly it’s the gaslighting and disregard for people that makes me fucking angry.

You jaywalked.

You dared interfere with our ultimate social value in #ottawa

Travel times for people driving.

You dared live your life in ways that you balanced would be safest for you. Because intersections are the most dangerous piece of urban movement infrastructure.

But it’s your fault for moving around outside a car #publictransportation

I think a lot of what happens is reactionary and has been for a long time because this fucking city has repeatedly shown it doesn’t care and will not take even small steps towards liveable communities. We have to forget about city hall and engage the local and geographic. Honestly forget about Sutcliffe, and hoping city staff will snap out of the micromanagement coma Jimmy induced on city hall. There’s going to have to be a forcing #ottawa #ottbike #publictransportation

Wrangling transportation data in the global South is no easy feat. It's our specialty. We harness community crowdsourcing and OpenStreetMap to provide accurate GTFS informed by the people who know the city better than anyone.

This a great video from #VTA explaining why VMT reduction is important!

I hope VTA puts out more videos like this; they’re doing a lot of great work and I think more people should know about it!

You didn't know that Trufi does chatbots, did you? From journey planning to public safety reporting to transport research data collection.

I was fortunate enough to see the Beyoncé concert in Santa Clara last night, and it was an incredible show! I was also *very* happy to see #VTA operators transport everyone away from the stadium in an efficient and professional manner. Seriously efficient, by the way. Our friends had to walk across the parking lot to get back to their car; by the time they were even pulling out of the parking lot, my wife and I had already gotten out of the stadium, back to our car (from the light rail), and started on the way to In-n-Out! I definitely recommend #PublicTransportation getting to and from Levi’s Stadium.

Also, don’t be intimidated by long lines at the station; they move quick because the light rail cars can hold so many people!

After being unwilling to renew contract for service with the Rapid [for route #29] Cascade Township has contracted an hourly shuttle service which will operate 13 hours a day (6am-11am,1pm-11pm), Monday - Friday. The township supervisor describes this alternative as "more cost effective".
Transit options for people with mobility challenges or special needs are 'being worked on'. After August 27th those citizens lost service.

How can we improve & expand transit if we don’t have $ to pay for staff to run it? Also, let’s have a clear vision for what an improved Muni would be & attach a $ amount. It’ll be huge but its good to have an understanding of what that looks like.
