Trains? In *my* neighborhood? It’s more likely than you think!

From the “I’m weird” chronicles, I skipped breakfast last week and went to Holyoke to take pics of the Pioneer Valley Railroad.

Massachusetts: Red line’s down for weeks for repairs? Have bike valets managing the docks for the bike share!

Rhode Island: Washington Bridge is broken and will be for a while? Have you tried tearing out the bike lane?

Ah yes definitely an up and coming best city for biking.
Managed to stumble into a hidden away friend at the Sydney Tramways Museum.
Thanks to the volunteer who spotted @shadow's mattapan trolley dress.

Today our local daily carried #Providence Urbanist Networks' response to the #RhodeIsland Department of Transportation's revised Carbon Reduction Strategy.

tl;dr: While there are improvements, it's still nowhere near where it needs to be. Response by @shadow and I.

I'm sure many other states are going through the same thing right now.

Do any US transit agencies that receive state funding need to tell their state legislature how that money should be raised? Asking for a friend.

Yesterday we at Providence Urbanist Network submitted our comments on the Rhode Island Department of Transportation's "Carbon Reduction Strategy."

In its current form, it's not a strategy to reduce #carbon. It's a strategy to avoid contributing to meeting the state's Act on Climate targets. It represents predatory delay.

Thanks to RMI for making the Shift Calculator publicly available.

RICO? Eh. I’m from Providence, they’ll charge anybuddy with that.
There are three pieces of top quality bicycle infrastructure in this state, and a fourth that is nearly as good. That I lack a safe way to get to any of them from where I live, and that no such way seems planned, seems actively bad for my mental and physical health.
