The steps to defeating loneliness are simple:
get out of your isolation box, your car, and start walking or biking for trips under 2 miles.

I can't wait. Most kids in JC live less than 2 miles from their schools. Imagine we get rid of buses and long drop off lines and get kids to school safely via bikes and scooters!

The C St NE redesign is so good! A Dutch-style #bikeDC lane, dignified bus stops, handicapped spots with access ramps, bioswales, raised crosswalks & best of all - noticeably slower vehicle traffic! Thank you, @DDOTDC.
We need more complete streets like this all over the city!

Good news/challenging news re #hb5917 - the #visionzero bill. It has to get through appropriations and likely also judiciary. There are things you can and should be doing right now if reducing deaths on our roads is important to you - LFG

Ever wonder where the most crashes occur in West Hartford?
New data compiled by the folks at look to identify those areas with the hopes that they'll be targeted by the town's Vision Zero task force.

Free fares are over for CT bus riders. Who's to blame?
A quick reminder for Monday morning: There's still time for #Connecticut municipalities to register for our #SS4A webinar this Wednesday!

The way kids get to school in the US and Canada is insane (and bad for their health).
Two ways of doing the school run: an elementary school in North Carolina vs. one in #Holland.

What works (not words) for Vision Zero…
Quote Tweet
“They cut speed limits, changed street design, removed space for cars…Now it appears that work is paying off. #Oslo & #Helsinki are reaping the rewards of committed action on making their roads safer, reducing pedestrian fatalities to zero last year.” theguardian.com/world/2020/mar
Low-income urban bus riders without cars don’t benefit from massive auto-centric infrastructure spends or country club train stations in SW Connecticut.

Advocating for Transit, safer walking, ebikes/pedal bikes > Electric Car Rebates

ICYMI:
In @Slate I examined why so many US environmental groups have focused on promoting electric cars instead of advocating for more transit, walking, and biking.
Only now is that starting to change.

Here's another way to make positive change for families & community in Anchorage! Karen Bronga stepped up to run in East Anchorage, and campaigns are costly in order to reach & motivate enough voters to win. We NEED to keep our progressive majority. Event: fb.me/e/Q147erHt
