JayWalker - Active transportation and mobility justice organizer in the Capital Region of CT #KPBikeBus #TRUCT #CTTicketsToOpportunity - Make transit affordable so poor people can use it. Make transit good so everyone uses it. We can and should do both.
Make transit affordable for those who need it. Make it fast and frequent for everyone. We CAN and SHOULD do both - prioritizing our walkable places - if we want CT to prosper.

Connecticut once ran on trolleys. Now it’s trying to undo a century of car-first planning
Connecticut used to have a robust trolley system, extending all the way from Greenwich to Hartford.

So we got to visit this intersection nightmare in Tampa, Florida, but we also saw lots of Low Speed Vehicles, EVs, ebikes, people walking and many sites where new active transportation infrastructure is being built. Not many buses, but Happy Holidays car-free Floridians!

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan…
* Vehicle traffic: -11%
* Foot traffic: +3.4%
* Storefront vacancy: -0.9%
* Pollution: -22%
* Revenue for mass transit: $548M
So YES this has been a huge success.

This ridiculous new post by Strong Towns correctly identifies a problem - we build too many failing transit capital projects - and completely misses the mark with its proposed solutions - stopping federal funding for them and instead making projects small and phased.
Are Federal Transit Grants Hurting, Not Helping, Public Transportation? | Strong Towns
Three case studies reveal how top-down funding creates rigidity, waste, and systems that cities cannot afford to fix or abandon.

Imagine if we could get the YIMBY transit experts in Connecticut to push back on DOT and the Governor as hard as they push back on fare equity campaigners. CT DOT recovers less than 20% of bus operating $ with fares and probably spends all that - if not more - collecting fares. Scarcity mindset.

This level of servitude to the Car Czars is kinda pathetic, ya’ll. Saddest of all, we don’t really choose it.
Average monthly cost now over $1200 to enslave yourself to the automobile/petroleum cabal.

Bazardo hung a slider in the middle of the plate to a guy they shouldn’t have even pitched to. That decision will be remembered in Seattle the way Boston looks back at the ball that went between Bill Buckner’s legs in the 1986 ALCS. Red Sox fans can relate, Seattle. @redsox.com @mariners.com

Riding a bicycle in America is a fundamentally queer activity. I Ride with Pride!! But it’s not necessarily communist.
We are once again asking @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social to come on The War on Cars podcast.
Mamdani did ride bikes with the Daily News back to his office after his M57 outing.
A woman he rode by shouted "communist" at him repeatedly.
Mamdani said he wasn't surprised by the heckling because Trump keeps "incorrectly" calling him that:
