No matter how much sense trolleybuses make as a zero emission solution, the debate always ends up dominated by someone like this.
@humantransit The Balloon Character Parade Union strongly objects to the placement of overhead power lines for trolleys.

“Our train system is a question of democracy. People feel like nothing works anymore. The train system is viewed the same as the government. If I can’t rely on the train system, then the government isn’t doing its job.” 🚆 @zeitonline

Turning 90 soon, Tino relies on Metrobus & Metrorail every day to get around the city, including rides to @Reagan_Airport when he has time to travel & visit family. As we wrap up #WeekWithoutDriving, let’s remember how important public transit is, especially for seniors! 🚇🚍

“We know that housing affordability is a crisis here in Richmond. And we've got to do everything we can through the zoning code or through affordable housing investments to be able to address that issue in our city.” @DannyAvula 🏬🏘️ @rjmarr @myVPM

Happy to be celebrating the life and work of Professor Donald Shoup today at UCLA. In addition to transforming the way we think about parking, he was a great man and a generous mentor!

Since 2005, Richmond real estate taxpayers have racked up a $31 million delinquent tab, records show. But the city hasn't had a collections program in place for ~5 years. Officials are in a race against the clock: after 20 years, the tax debts are voided. https://t.co/STgzew2sbY

Officials have done nothing to collect the funds since roughly five years ago — when “previous leadership” decided to “suspend collections efforts” due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a spokesperson said.

Seeing this as my train from NYC to Richmond took 3ish hours to DC then another 4 hours from DC to Richmond makes me think we shouldn’t need this level of oversight to make good things happen in this country
To clear California High-Speed Rail for use on EXISTING train tracks between San Jose and San Francisco alone, the environmental review process produced a final report of 8,204 pages (456 hours of reading) and took almost 14 years to complete. We need reform.

Fall Line's ribbon cutting for the 4.5 miles in @HanoverCountyVa is today and the trail hasn't been "officially" open yet in this new section, but this highlighted @Strava heat map tells a different story.

Councilwomen Stephanie Lynch and Kenya Gibson both tell me they agree with Hardiman’s call for Nesmith’s ouster.
RRHA Commissioner Barrett Hardiman is calling for the removal of CEO Steven Nesmith. Nesmith previously told me Mayor Avula supported his plan to privatize Gilpin Court's redevelopment, but Avula contradicted that claim. Hardiman called that "fireable." https://t.co/xQJtKHcOk0
