Someone used this in a ppt presentation recently. It is brilliant.

Thanks in part to @T4America's work since 2013, a coalition of local and state leaders successfully restored passenger rail service on the Gulf Coast. Learn more about what it took to get this done here.

When Congress comes asking for more of your hard earned money to support the transportation program, remember that they oppose accountability for how that funding is used or the results we get. @Sen_Alsobrooks @SenKevinCramer .

"Amid growing public pressure, Sylvania Township. analyze[d] whether Mitchaw Road’s posted speed is too high. Technically, it’s 5 mph too low. The reason dates back to studies on rural roads from the 1930s and 1940s. ".

It took 20 years, but passenger rail has returned to the Gulf Coast better than ever.

You will face prison time if you don't keep your kids locked inside a car or house. There they can die from chronic disease or a gun shot, but for heavens sake keep them out of the way of our cars.

If we built more roads instead of homes and businesses, traffic would be a thing of the past. —U.S. transportation policy.

Using the National Guard to police/occupy the capital city. Great look.

"Research has found that people who live in walkable neighborhoods are 1.5 times more likely to meet their daily recommended level of physical activity and they also engage in more frequent social interactions." .

Quick-build demonstration projects can inspire lasting change 💡. Learn about the partnerships & safety improvements three Kentucky communities built through @SmartGrowthUSA’s #CompleteStreets Leadership Academy 🤝.

Kentucky communities built partnerships & designed projects to make state-owned roads safer for everyone 🚴🏻🚶🏻‍♂️👩🏽‍🦽. Read about the processes, lessons, & outcomes of the #CompleteStreets Leadership Academy in @SmartGrowthUSA’s new report ⤵️.

I have always wanted to meet Tom Lehrer, who died at 97 on Saturday. Take some time to learn about him, listen to his satirical songs written over 60 years ago, and enjoy their continued relevance. Start with National Brotherhood Week.

Apply to be one of 3 teams from small to mid-sized cities to participate in a yearlong cohort for training and support, culminating in the design and implementation of a temporary street safety pilot project to test ways to reconnect the community.

I also can't help but notice that the areas with the worst congestion have the strongest economies. So congestion is bad for the economy but present in the most robust economies and lower in the weak ones?.

5) Now, fatal car crashes as a traffic issue—wow. U.S. roads were most deadly during the COVID shutdown, when roads were congestion free. Speed kills. Let's worry less about the traffic inconvenience of fatal crashes and more about the loss of life. 5/5.

4) Length of weekday congestion is a proxy, based on mid-20th century measures and tools, that does not represent real trips. Get real information using access, using 20 year old technology, to understand where traffic is blocking access to work. 4/5.

3) It's quite dismissive of non-auto trips. I live in the most congested city but spend little commute time in congestion because I don't have to. In many of the "least congested" cities, I would have no choice but to sit in their relative lower congestion. 3/5.

2) It could be due to distance. People commuting from WV to DC would both cause traffic and be in traffic. That's a choice. A fast trip over a long distance can be due to job scarcity if many people in the region have to travel far for work. 2/.

A very 20th Century traffic analysis from @ConsumerAffairs. 1) It isn't clear they considered causality. They ranked long commutes as bad, but the cause of the time isn't clear. It could be people choosing to get exercise by walking. 1/5.
