Huge kudos to the reporting team at @calmatters.org whose incredible series on the California DMV's lax approach to drunk driving has led to a number of new laws passed:

This project was an incredible team effort with my colleagues Swati Sharma, Michael Willen, Meg Fernandez, Koyel Das, and Prof. Debra Laefer, collecting data in the field over many months. The full study is out now in the Journal of Public Transportation, open-access: doi.org/10.1016/j.jp...

We also linked the station-data we collected with the surrounding level of persons reporting disabilities, as well as the % of riders who make use of the MTA's senior/disability fares. This demonstrates potential latent demand of riders at currently-inaccessible stations. doi.org/10.1016/j.jp...

New Study! How many stairs does it take to get from the street to the platform of a New York City subway station? How long are the passageways? And what fare gates are present at different stations? We sought to find out at 85 different stations + 308 distinct entrances: doi.org/10.1016/j.jp...

Lovely view of the blanket of fog covering up SF but leaving Tiburon and Belvedere visible.

San Jose's airport is accessible by bike. Let's add a @lyftbikes.bsky.social station at the terminal, too! This got me close enough to transfer to the VTA 60 bus.

Sanchez is a crucial link in San Francisco's bike network between 17th St (and the Mission) and the Wiggle. This is what cyclists are faced with:

Strange scene in Potrero Hill. I saw a dark-gray truck, no license plates, carrying four white men, speed past King Starr Open Space. Then, police in pursuit. Looks like they caught up with the truck at Connecticut and Wisconsin.

Love that NYC DOT is going to continue to emphasize 'Ghost Plates' in its enforcement priorities:

Wild to see NYC DOT use the terms "Super Speeder" and "Extreme Recidivism" in the roll-out of their new safe-streets policy!

Forcing a coal plant in Michigan to continue operating past its planned closure in a way that increases ratepayer prices and pollution. Incredible stuff. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/11/c...

I'm very excited for the Oak Street bike lane (running Eastbound, adjacent to the Panhandle), and grateful to the people at SFMTA who have made this happen, but I think it's prob time we drop the 'quick build' label for this project.

We could have metered parking in Golden Gate Park and: - devote the revenues to park improvement - encourage visitors travel by foot, bike, and transit .....or keep the status quo and ensure hours of cars cruising for non-existent spots claimed hours ago

California allows disabled-parking placard holders to park, for free, for an unlimited amount of time at metered spaces. This turns spots *designed to generate turnover* into long-term parking, defeating the very purpose of the meters.

Enjoyed speaking with Tim Sheehan for his very thoughtful and well-sourced article on Drive-Thrus in California's Central Valley: theintersectionreports.org/the-valley-h...
