What a wild game! Two red cards, rain throughout, and two assists from Pulisic to give AC Milan the win!! Fun to be sitting with the Milan fans.

Also, no Italian concession food, so I got a hot dog… 😆

The rain didn’t keep the Empoli ultras away! But this game needs Pulisic on the field to get going!

Is @sfmta.bsky.social starting to paint curbs at intersections red?! I’m hoping this is AB 413 in action, improving pedestrian safety by increasing visibility!

On the shared micromobility panel, @alexadelbosc.bsky.social and @kmanaugh.bsky.social presented their research, and speakers from DDOT, NABSA, and SUMC shared implementation best practices. Topics included who uses these programs and how, to how cities can encourage strong enrollment and use.

Prof Candace Brakewood led off with a keynote, sharing the results of her recently published TCRP synthesis report J-07/Topic SB-40.

She shared the state of practice of low-income discounted fare programs in public transit agencies in North America.

Our #TRBAM2025 workshop brought together experts from the public transit and shared micromobility fields to share their research and best practices for low-income reduced fare programs.

A big thanks to my co-organizers Candace Brakewood, @leebier.bsky.social, and Adam Cohen!

Memorable date night: missed the bus by about 30 seconds… so we hopped on Lime scooters and rode the 4 miles instead! We got to enjoy a beautiful sunset… oh, and Wicked was really good, too!
