As emergency shelters are remaining open into the late afternoon, TriMet will not turn away anyone unable to pay fare who is heading to or from warming shelters through 6 p.m. tonight.
Please let the bus operator know you are going to or from a warming shelter.
Remember to check trimet.org/alerts before you go for the latest updates on transit service 📲

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath

It may be too late to see the display, but this is an interesting idea! What do you think?

If there are concerns about conflicts between hotel guests and people on bike the correct response is not to remove the bike lane, it's to upgrade it (as Seattle did on 2nd Ave in front of the Courtyard by Marriott).
Portland transportation director readies plan to remove key downtown protected bike lane

Only 4 days away from the premiere of possibly the most visible film showcasing how NYC has transformed Broadway from Union Sq to Times Sq. From one of the most dangerous, chaotic places in NYC to one that's friendly for people & retail & restaurants.
Here's a teaser...

An awesome thread highlighting different ways to utilize urban spaces!
Another notable feature in many of these pictures is the way in which tactile guideways are used throughout Tokyo - tactile paving originates in Japan, and it’s great to see how much it is used there.

New study of e-bike rebates finds that the average recipient reduced their CO₂ emissions by 12-44 kg/month. That's roughly equivalent to 30-110 miles/month of driving.
Not too shabby!
