Cities should be paying people to bike. Cities should be buying people e-bikes. Cities should be rewarding people for convincing neighbors to ride bikes. Every trip by bike is a net financial gain socially. And it compounds, the more people who do it.

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.

DoorDash messed up.
They repeatedly left more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers underpaid or paid late, causing them immense stress and financial difficulty.
That's unacceptable.
We've secured a $131.5M settlement from
DoorDash - the largest worker settlement in NYC history and largest delivery worker settlement in
American municipal history.
Every worker will be paid what they are owed, and every company will be forced to abide by the laws of this city.

Make transit affordable for those who need it. Make it fast and frequent for everyone. We CAN and SHOULD do both - prioritizing our walkable places - if we want CT to prosper. www.ctinsider.com/connecticut/...

Connecticut once ran on trolleys. Now it’s trying to undo a century of car-first planning

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan… * Vehicle traffic: -11% * Foot traffic: +3.4% * Storefront vacancy: -0.9% * Pollution: -22% * Revenue for mass transit: $548M So YES this has been a huge success.

This ridiculous new post by Strong Towns correctly identifies a problem - we build too many failing transit capital projects - and completely misses the mark with its proposed solutions - stopping federal funding for them and instead making projects small and phased.

Are Federal Transit Grants Hurting, Not Helping, Public Transportation? | Strong Towns

Three case studies reveal how top-down funding creates rigidity, waste, and systems that cities cannot afford to fix or abandon.

Imagine if we could get the YIMBY transit experts in Connecticut to push back on DOT and the Governor as hard as they push back on fare equity campaigners. CT DOT recovers less than 20% of bus operating $ with fares and probably spends all that - if not more - collecting fares. Scarcity mindset.

The more kids are invited to bike, walk and take public transit to school, the safer, healthier and smarter it is for EVERYONE. It’s shocking how much vehicle congestion in cities is actually “driven” by trips to and from schools. #BackToSchool #LetKidsBike #LetKidsWalk cartoon by Yehuda Moon

CT sees ‘explosion’ of injuries and increase in deaths from bikes and e-bikes. ‘An alarming trend’

“We want to relate to parents that e-bikes carry risks that are significantly greater than the standard bicycle,” an ER doctor said.
