Great #TransportCamp session asking, “what skills do transport planners need?” The overwhelming answer was storytelling and how to influence. The technical skills are “easy”. The people skills are “hard”.

This article on the impact of 30km/h zones on cycling comfort and vehicle delay is incredibly timely, given that Victoria has JUST added 30km/hr to its speed zoning policy. One more reason to act!

Do perceptions of speeding act as a barrier to automated speed enforcement in the United States?
Speed is a significant contributor to both the likelihood and severity of road crashes, and automated speed enforcement has been demonstrated as an ef…

Is it a freeway? No, it’s a busway! In Sunway KL, Malaysia you can travel above the traffic on the BRT or the pedestrian canopy walk.

Pinch me! TWO great papers by all-female authors in one day. This one shows the (lack of) gender diversity in transport geography over time, and the topics more likely to be explored by female-led vs non-female-lead research teams. Diversity matters.

Great new paper came across my citation alert: "Elected officials [who are women or] who have personal experience with transportation barriers ... prioritize equity values and the transport needs of equity-deserving groups more frequently." Diversity matters.

Looks like the alternative energy themes of TRB also got the axe. Has there ever been a shake up this significant in the Board’s 105 years?
I was on the alternative fuels and technology committee for a while and then on transportation energy committee for a while. We did a lot of research on EVs, charging, life cycle assessment, robocars, etc. Gone. So we don’t have a national climate assessment and now we don’t have big part of TRB.

Not surprised, just disappointed. Equity and environmental justice have been wiped from the new TRB standing committee structure. Subcommittees banned entirely.
Bleak times ahead for @trb.org and #TRBAM.

Hit me with success stories of cities that have successfully shifted mode choice from car to active or public transport. London, Paris, Lisbon, Warsaw - any others?

I’m happy that Monash vending machines sell Coffee Boss but I sure enjoyed them better in Japan where they cost about $1.50.

The Railway Museum in Saitama is amazing. Everything from full sized engines, to a model railway, to art, to hands exhibits on railway jobs and science. Highly recommend.

So many different types of bicycles in Japan - fat tyre, folding, electric, and a lot with kid seats on the back. Young and old, women and men.

In Japan on a holiday so please enjoy these photos of people on bikes. They seem to ride wherever - on the street, on the footpath - and cars are so slow (max 40kph most streets) it works ok. Cycling not everywhere, but some places so popular there is paid secure parking.

Story time! You probably know that cycling rates fluctuated dramatically during COVID. Melbourne saw massive decreases due to 264 total days under lock-down. (1/5)

Reviewing the proofs of a new paper (coming soon!) and it pains me to remember that in Melbourne we were under COVID lockdown for 264 days. Some of the changes to how we travel are still being felt today. Stay tuned to find out more!
