Some good news.

London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces.

The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

What an insane quote from the mayor! Part of the reason taller buildings are so expensive is because of the requirements that are triggered once the building meets the high-rise definition – so if you raise the definition’s limit (only to the state/national standard, I might add), you lower costs!

Peak NIMBY brain is trying to keep a neighboring airport open, even though the planes that land there are literally spraying toxins over your home, because if the airport closes then they're going to build affordable housing there. lapublicpress.org/2025/06/sant...
Santa Monica's elite are using an airport to block affordable housing
A campaign to build housing on the site of the soon-to-be-shuttered airport is drawing pushback from opponents of new development.

Look at the difference between NorCal and SoCal.

In the Bay, out of the 11 Senators repping urban areas, 8 voted yes.

In LA County, out of 13 Senators only 4 voted yes.

The LA delegation is killing housing bills.

A quote that really stuck with me from this episode is: "Mobility is about more than transportation, mobility is about access to life."

Times are hard. But I continue to draw strength from people who are doing good work, like Charles T. Brown. We had him on @thewaroncars.bsky.social to talk about his essential new book, Arrested Mobility: Overcoming the Threat to Black Movement. thewaroncars.org/2025/05/20/e... Listen if you can.
The cover of a new book from Charles T. Brown, titled Arrested Mobility: Overcoming the Threat to Black Movement. It shows black and white striped image that recalls both the American flag and the bars of a prison cell, with a bright red bloodstain in one corner.

10 year after the launch of Vision Zero in Los Angeles, an audit of the program was completed and released.

The result? A damning indictment.

The Vision Zero Steering Committee stopped meeting in 2018!!
While the Department of Transportation leads the city’s Vision Zero work, nearly every related project requires the participation of other agencies, including Engineering, Street Services, the LAPD and more. In his directive establishing the program, Garcetti envisioned a Vision Zero Steering Committee made up of representatives from departments citywide to coordinate the implementation of traffic safety projects. By mid-2018, that committee had stopped meeting, the audit found. The reduction in participation resulted in the loss of a “useful forum to collaborate on Vision Zero goals and nothing quite replaced this level of interaction,” the audit said. The last time the Department of Transportation revised its action plan, the document that coordinates projects across city agencies, was in 2018. The audit identified 56 “actions and strategies” from that plan that were meant to be completed by the end of 2020, including projects focused on street design and lighting and Vision Zero education campaigns. Half of those projects remain incomplete as of the end of 2023, the audit found. According to interviews the audit is based on, “the level of enthusiasm at City Hall” for Vision Zero has decreased since the program was launched. “Some of the reasons cited include the pandemic, conflicts of personality, lack of total buy-in for implementation, disagreements over how the program should be administered and scaling issues,” the audit said.

The Mayor’s proposed budget is a disaster for street safety. It will result in worse sidewalks, worse pavement condition, no new road safety projects, and may even lead to the end of popular events like CicLAvia.

Make your voice heard!

LMFAO THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION ACCIDENTALLY SUBMITTED A LETTER TO THE COURT ADMITTING THEY’RE PROBABLY GOING TO LOSE THE LAWSUIT TO STOP CONGESTION PRICING

these guys are so incompetent it’s unbelievable

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The Court Is Unlikely To Uphold FHWA's Stated Rationale for Terminating the CBDTP Agreement The Secretary provides two reasons why the CBDTP is not an eligible pilot project under the VPPP statutory language: (1) the program constitutes impermissible "cordon pricing," which is not authorized because it does not offer a toll-free option, and (2) the level of CBDTP tolls has been set primarily by the need to raise revenues rather than prevent congestion. Neither of these reasons is likely to convince the Court: First, with respect to the rationale that "cordon pricing" is not authorized under the phrase "congestion pricing" or "value pricing," we have been unable to identify a compelling legal argument to support this position. As you are aware, the legislation that enacted the VPPP, Section 1012(b) of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA), Pub. L. 102-240 (1991) (23 U.S.C. § 149 note), as amended by Section 1216(a) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21s Century (TEA-21), Pub. L. 105-178 (1998) (when the term "value pricing" replaced "congestion pricing" in 1998, the two terms were used synonymously), and Section 1604(a) of the Safe Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), Pub. L. 109-59 (2005), does not define "value pricing." Under Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, 603 U.S. 369 (2024), the Court will not afford the Secretary's current interpretation any deference, and will engage in its own interpretation of whether cordon pricing is included within the term value pricing. The factors that the court will look at in making this decision point towards the conclusion that the type of cordon pricing utilized in the CBDTP is included within the terms "congestion pricing" or "value pricing."

During your lunch break, please call the following senators offices in support of SB 79: Grayson, Cortese, Caballero, Padilla.
briannaje.bsky.social Brianna @briannaje.bsky.social · Apr 20
If your state senator sits on the Senate Housing Committee, I implore you to give their office a call on Monday to tell them you support SB 79 (transit-oriented upzoning within 1/2 mile of rail and BRT stops).

If you dare to ask CalTrans how they expect cyclists to come back when they only put a bike lane in one direction on a deadly highway, they tell you there’ll be crosswalks, and bike lanes in other segments. We’re doing great.

A driver just tailgated me and sprayed me with his windshield wipers because I had the audacity to take the lane for 12 seconds so that I could make a left turn.
I even crossed a double yellow to merge early and get out of his way. Yes, cyclist entitlement is definitely the problem 🤡

Update: after 4 days, SMPD finally took my report, and say they’re likely to be pressing charges and should be able to get me his identity that way.
I still want to figure this out so our ordinance can be helpful when people can’t get this info through PD (that’s kind of the point of the ordinance).

Yo internet, who knows how to find the identity of a CA driver using their plate w/o paying a fortune? This guy assaulted me and, in order to take him to small court w our local ordinance, I’m supposed to provide his info, which PD won’t give me because they now have a criminal offense on him. 👌💀
