Imagine, for a half a second, if we cared as much about the condition of sidewalks and bike lanes as we do about the upkeep of rails. #bikeDC #walkDC #VisionZero https://twitter.com/wmata/status/1628098944063373312

Right outside the National Zoo. Where children/families frequent on a daily basis.

Connecticut Ave. is a freeway that has needed an 85% road diet for over 30 years.

Get these cars off our streets!

URGENT. #bikedc #dc #walkdc I need your help identifying a cyclist and/or their employer. My client, nice guy/cyclist/widow’d dad to a 3 yo, was in a crash 4/20/22 at 15th & Euclid NW with another cyclist. He didn’t realize he was hurt and left the scene. No police report. (1/4)

2022 transit stats in review:
Walking accounted for about 40% of the time going from A to B but only about 6% of the distance from A to B.

Cycling accounted for 27% of the distance traveled, and 45% of the time.

The one plane trip to California and one train trip to Connecticut account for almost half of all miles traveled. If I exclude those two trips, cycling + walking is 2/3rds of miles traveled and 85% of travel time.

(10 miles I'll be taking metro tonight are excluded 🙂)

Spent some time this weekend giving feedback for the Bladensburg Avenue study (https://engage.dc.gov/BladensburgSafetyStudy). Other #bikedc #walkdc and DMV-area #BikeTooter people should take a look! Either concept look about 100 times better than the status quo

Car travel in November:

One trip to Costco and the Commissary (19 miles)
Trips to in laws for Thanksgiving: (18 miles)
Three Ubers to parties: (18 miles)

No, this does not sum to 73, but I don't know where Google Maps is hiding the other 18 miles. Either way, winning with almost 300 miles via non-car travel. #biketooter #bikedc #walkdc

#walkdc Tis the season!

Maryland was one of four states to see a decline in traffic violence #safestreets #bikeDC #walkDC

Today is World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims (#WDOR2022).

Earlier this month I joined with Jamya's family to hang a sign in her honor. Jamya was killed in a hit-and-run in 2021. Speak up with families & crash survivors by urging the Mayor and Council to fully fund life-saving laws: https://p2a.co/aLZUCpf

And hear from Jamya's mom in this beautiful but heartbreaking story from earlier this year: https://wamu.org/story/22/08/25/traffic-violence-changed-their-lives-they-hope-drivers-heed-their-warnings/
