Micro pods are not a solution that jives with this volume of capacity. It’s basic math.

We are so close to completely being able to get around safely by bike

My thoughts and pics: 1/x

The kids are all right. Great seeing all of the families taking advantage of Station Soccer at the MARTA Lindbergh Station over the weekend.

The Atlanta pedestrian experience, in photos. 🤪

The biggest transportation challenge Cobb faces:

* 240k commuters come into Cobb for work
* 200k commuters leave Cobb for work
* Only 128k live and work in Cobb

We gotta reduce how far we travel for daily commutes.

The average wind farm in the US is held up in court by 23 people. San Francisco allows a single person who puts down a few bucks to drag the approval of a bike lane through endless appeals. And don’t even get me started on housing!

We are a nation addicted to the heckler’s veto

A collection of new studies finds that yes, if you allow developers to build more homes, it dampens the rise of housing prices — and generates more tax revenue as a bonus.

Amazing what you can do when you are allowed to.

Here's a truth bomb:

Take the U.S. city you're most afraid of, one with a very high murder rate or property crime rate.

If it has any sort of public transit, it is still statistically safer to use public transit in that city at ANY time of day than to drive where you live.

Reading is one thing, comprehension is another. As Upton Sinclair said, “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”

The tunnel on the left moves about three thousand people every day. The tunnel on the right moves over one million.

You tell me which one is the future of transportation.

Someone just walked up to us on the street and asked 'Are you guys here for the Bitcoin conference?', and I've never in my life felt as self-conscious about my physical appearance as I do right now.

One of the biggest challenges pro-housing advocates need to overcome is NIMBYs living rent-free in the heads of many policymakers.

Polling shows us that NIMBYs are far from a majority.

But the *perception* that they're a majority has a lot of policymakers spooked.

This weekend, GDOT gave up…while MARTA kept the region moving.

The swifties just filled up this marta car

You love to see it

Adrian Peterson was suspended for 6 games for beating his kid

Deshaun Watson was originally suspended for 6 games for sexually assaulting 20+ women

Greg Hardy got 4 games.

Ray Rice got 2 games..

Tyreek Hill 0 games.

Jamo got 6 games for betting on a college football game.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them.

We've had several reports of mayfly sightings, don't be alarmed it's normal to see them in other months too.

📅 Visit Detroit

Today I want to focus on one project that was deprioritized from @MARTATransit‘s More MARTA list, is part of an ongoing @GeorgiaDOT redesign effort, but which represents a unique federal opportunity.

That is, I want to talk about Northside Drive, and what we can do about it.
