Driverless and flying cars aren’t sexy. You know what is sexy? Not having to own a car—or not needing one for every trip in a city. You can’t build your way out of congestion with more car lanes, but you can get there by investing in a better bus network. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

When looking to the future of cities, look to Bogotá. Buses can't solve a century of transportation sins, but with new transit, cable cars, reimagined streets and more cyclists, they can close more gaps in cities than ever be closed with cars.

Cars move just 24% of Manhattan's people but generate 100% of its traffic congestion. NYC has a generational opportunity to invest in better transit service and reimagined streets for the 75% of people who rely on bus, train, bike and walking. The time is now.

If people understood the consequences of dangerous driving, we wouldn’t need speed limits. Restorative justice connects victims of traffic violence with the drivers who hit them, showing that the story of the crash doesn't end with the police report. nytimes.com/2023/11/27/nyr…

Legal and political posturing dominate the congestion pricing debate. But what's the plan for the street if one in five cars disappear from central Manhattan next year—a once-in-a-generation street dividend? curbed.com/2023/09/janett…

Street dreams are made of cheese! 15-minute neighborhoods create even tighter communities in Paris where neighbors can just shoot the brie. What Jane Jacobs called 'the small change from which a city's wealth of public life may grow.' nytimes.com/2023/08/30/rea…

What do you get with round-the-clock speed camera enforcement? A 30% drop in speeding tickets in a single year, and reductions in death/injury on the city's most dangerous streets. Cameras help ensure drivers operate at the speed of life, not death. nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-sp…

The spectacular growth of protected bike lanes in New York is more awe inducing than any interstate expansion. It only looks inevitable in retrospect. We need to grow these tendrils of street life to fill the city map.

Great city leaders don't play it safe to avoid controversy. They take decisive action and succeed despite it. NYers like Richard Ravitch were (and, like Mike Bloomberg, still are!) invested in the city's future through good times and hard times. nytimes.com/2023/07/28/opi…

We're going the wrong way. New report estimates the number of people killed by cars while walking is the highest since 1981. Supersizing American roads and vehicles has supersized pedestrian deaths ~89% since 2010. This is a 100% preventable crisis. ghsa.org/resources/Pede…

Less downtown parking = Stronger cities. New report from Bruce Schaller shows the most economically resilient cities post-pandemic will be those that offer more affordable places for people to live rather than park. nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-ope…

Citi Bike X. What once was impossible is now unstoppable. On Citi Bike's tenth anniversary, we celebrate 182 million trips taken for 339 million miles, and how changing city streets for bikes changed New York and New Yorkers.

Citi Bike launched 10 years ago. It now carries more trips than many US highways and transit systems. Critics said, 'New York isn't Amsterdam or Copenhagen!' Now other cities say, 'We aren't New York!' nytimes.com/2023/05/26/nyr…

10 ago this month, Citi Bike became the city's newest transportation network, with riders pedaling on new lanes and past the city's newest public spaces. We were riding in a city that hadn’t existed just a few years earlier. curbed.com/2023/05/citi-b…
