In the 1920s car companies introduced the term "jaywalking" as part of their attempt to shift blame for pedestrian deaths.
Jaywalking laws today are over-enforced in BIPOC communities and do little to make pedestrians safer. It's time for them to go.

In 2021 @FEETFIRST_WA celebrated the John Lewis Memorial Bridge, culminating a decade-long effort to provide access for people who walk and roll across I-5 to and from Northgate's light rail station. Help us keep working by donating to our annual appeal - feetfirst.org/annual-appeal-…

Walking is the most basic and fundamental mode of transportation. We have to prioritize it much more as a society.
Thanks to all who pointed out the inconsistency between our job posting & our values. The posting now reflects that it does not require a driver's license or access to a car.
Feet First is looking for people who want to make WA accessible for all. No license or car required
We especially encourage nondrivers to apply!

It's like we tweeted yesterday - young people have so much to offer in improving our transportation systems and we need to be investing in them more!
Special thank you to both MXT Visuals, who produced the photographs and video, and to the Black, Indigenous and other young leaders of color with Y.E.S. who crafted and executed the vision for this project.

Just presented to the @HIPRC Summer INSIGHT program where high schoolers are analyzing ped injuries/fatality data according to street design. Super impressed with the depth of their questions re: how and why are streets are designed for speed!
There is absolutely space to center youth experiences navigating our streets, and they're likely equipped with all the tools our leaders are too afraid to use #TheKidsAreAlright
We'll be there tomorrow! Hope you can join for @MoveRedmond's Walk and Talk in Overlake at 5pm.

Scramble crossings - better for walkability. Good for Issaquah! (though the size of that intersection still leaves much to be desired)
Slip lanes are terrible for walkability. Glad to see Seattle has been closing some of them recently - anywhere else in WA doing this?

Today we're presenting @WSUExtension's SNAP-Ed Workshop on influencing policy with active transportation. It's awesome to see concerted efforts like these to bridge direct health education with larger policy and systems change!
