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.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @mayor.nyc.gov · 22/09/2026
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.

I don’t want privacy fears to derail CT’s ATESD program. The tech folks say its easy to keep ATESD data locked down. Towns could consider housing all the data in local servers or in the cloud protected by an encryption key owned by the town and not shared with outsiders.

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/...

I didn’t analyze dats sources for walkability, but the report says 88 percent of folks in my town (West Hartfird) feel strongly or somewhat strongly there is bikeable infrastructure in the neighborhoods. We’ve made some good progress in the last few years, but this doesn’t square with what I know.

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.

Duck, or you'll get whacked by the TransitDeathSpiral. Guess what: WE NEED ALL OF IT YESTERDAY. The bus should be FREE for those can't afford it and it should be made BETTER for everyone else. Stop telling us we have to pick and choose amongst the crumbs.

We should spend the crumbs thrown to bus service in America (compared with subsidizing single occupancy car travel) on shorter headways, expanded times for fixed route service and rapid transit routes, according to ALL the Ivy League transit experts out there.
