We are once again posting the 37-mile DC streetcar map.
What could have been.
In 2014 former Mayor Gray sought funding to build out this plan. Unfortunately Chairman Mendelson blocked the proposal in favor of tax cuts for the wealthy.
Councilmember Allen just defunded the last remaining segment 🏙️

A city tells the truth about itself through its design. If the safest way to move through it requires a car, then freedom has been quietly tied to income and ability.

A lot of “bike debates” are really about hierarchy. Drivers are expected. Cyclists are treated like intruders. Pedestrians are tolerated right up until they slow the machine down.

Next weekend, I’m hoping to head to Hamilton for Kidical Mass: a celebration of safe cycling for kids and families.
But getting there? That’s a challenge.

Important piece. “Shared responsibility” absolutely takes the heat off those with the most power to shape our environment & safety. But a critical missing piece here relates to history: what did past engineers/policy makers decide & who has that disproportionately impacted? 🧵 #TransportationEquity
We need to stop saying “road safety is a shared responsibility.”
Highway engineers, automakers, and policymakers have the power to reduce the sky-high number of US crash deaths. Individual road users don't.

Who's really to blame—and who isn't—for America's traffic death epidemic
Politicians love to say that 'road safety is a shared responsibility,' but the reality is that some groups have a much larger duty than others.

It's no surprise that the increase in US tarrifs are affecting vehicle prices.
Hot take: You shouldn’t need a car loan to get groceries, pick up your kid, or visit your doctor.
Affordable mobility = protected infrastructure, safe sidewalks, reliable transit.

Transportation is more than getting from A to B.
It’s access to health care. Groceries. Friends. Community.
It’s freedom. It’s dignity.
Not everyone drives.
Not everyone can.
And no one should be left behind because of it.
