@transpochoices.bsky.social & @snotrac.bsky.social Att'n to SR 99/Aurora is 👍! OS-CONNECT gives WA the baseline needed to compare how different nondrivers reach essential destinations & turn evidence into plans. 🍂 #Walktober: what corridor do you want to see next? tinyurl.com/TCATSignUp #OSCONNECT
Infographic Alt TExt: Infographic showing how OS-CONNECT corridor analysis compares three nondriver travel experiences along the SR99/Aurora corridor from Edmonds to Lynnwood. The header reads, “How OS-CONNECT, created by TCAT for the state, turns CORRIDOR data into accountable bike/ped plans?” A large title states, “One Corridor, three very different nondriver experiences,” followed by text explaining that the same 10-minute travel budget reveals different freedom of movement depending on traveler profile and that disconnected networks prevail. Three profile panels appear side by side: UN, Streets allowed, with a bike icon; SO, Sidewalks only, with a walking icon; and LM, Limited mobility, with wheelchair and cane-user icons. Below, three comparison cards show reachable network and access metrics. UN (unsafe) Walk in streets: 99.2 km reachable network in 10 minutes, 623 crossings reached, 87 other points of interest, 6 bus stops (median), and 3 disconnected networks. SO Sidewalks only: 32.5 km reachable network, 603 crossings reached, minus 17 percent other points of interest, minus 17 percent bus stops, and 8 disconnected networks. LM Limited mobility: 27.9 km reachable network, 520 crossings reached, minus 33 percent other points of interest, minus 40 percent bus stops, and 28 separate networks. Each card includes a small corridor map from Edmonds to Lynnwood and a legend for reachable area, SR99 segment, and study envelope. A footer panel says, “Support OS-CONNECT continuity. Tell us which corridor to show next,” and adds, “Help us keep Washington’s accessible walking and rolling network current, open and usable.”

At the63rd IMCL Conference I was privileged to meet with Mārtiņš Daģis, mayor of Jelgava-a city that reinvents itself. It's powerful to discuss accessibility and livable cities in a place defined by resilience. Honored that @taskarcenter.bsky.social work can contribute. #Accessibility #OpenSidewalks

They are smiling for a photo attending IMCL a conference about accessibility, mobility, and creating more livable cities. The museum's elegant historic interior, featuring warm lighting and architectural details, provides the backdrop.
