OAKLAND: we previously had 1 direct trip between Oakland and San Francisco during the peak commute. With our redesigned Oakland & Alameda route, we'll have 8.
It's a convenient 25-minute boat ride from The Town to The City for $4.50 each way with Clipper.

Opinion: The Bay Bridge needs a climate-friendly makeover and it needs one now trib.al/rhpdTUZ
A year ago, with an incredible team, I led a process to help @ridespin re-think their equity strategies with people's lived experience at the center. If you want to hear about what we learned tune in to @hikaycheng and I tomorrow at #cityoftomorrow cityoftomorrowsummitseries.a…
If you can't tune in, check out the website we made describing our process spinmobilityequity.com/
Or the blog post we wrote about how Spin has changed their operations in line with what we learned gehlpeople.com/blog/mobility…

Missing middle housing - fourplexes, townhouses, etc - is great for most places. However, in places like Palo Alto, where land is north of $20 million an acre, it's time to look at Missing Large Housing, specifically, ways to build, plan, & finance big buildings cheaper. 1/
ALT Missing Large Housing: buildings larger than the midrise blocks of apartments over garages, but smaller than the billionaire french fry towers. Includes baugruppen, shophouses & polykatoikia, mass timber, satellite cities, social housing, and public sector developers.
There is more to mobility equity than discounts. Gehl helped rethink @ridespin's access program from a people-first perspective with an amazing team. Over the last year they've implementing it! Thrilled to share our process in a snappy new website! gehlpeople.com/blog/mobility…

Today we launch #NYC25x25, a challenge to New York City's next leaders to take back 25% of our street space from cars by 2025.
As we recover from the pandemic, we must create a more equitable, safe, & resilient city for generations to come.

Public spaces need to design for the reality of homelessness, not ignore it. That's why we worked with @SPUR_Urbanist to develop a toolkit that makes public spaces safer and more inclusive for all. gehlpeople.com/blog/homeless…
NEW: For decades, the subway offered a shelter of last resort for thousands of homeless NYers in the winter. But w/ the overnight shutdown, that refuge has vanished.
"I've tried everything, everything, but there is nowhere else to go," one man told me.

We opt to lead with compassion. Instead of waiting around for new resources to help those experiencing homelessness, we are trying something new.
We’re hiring a Senior Manager of Social Services Partnerships.
Job posting is at bart.gov/jobs
Help us help others.
Now hiring: BART has created a new Senior Manager of Social Services Partnerships as part of the agency's efforts to increase resources to help address homelessness in the system and connect people to resources.

These are good. I'll add an 8th: Ferrell/GM shoulda cited our paper "Effectiveness of incentives on electric vehicle adoption in Norway" in the ad, and then followed up with an ad detailing the policies that we should adopt here: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
I had 7 short thoughts about GM’s new Super Bowl ad, which is normal in every way but one: theatlantic.com/science/arch…

The EVs that are available in Norway are basically the sames ones available here: Audis, Teslas, Nissans, etc. It's just they made a choice to tax gas cars and not tax EVs, build charging stations, and do other stuff to support EVs, and we...didn't. elbil.no/english/norwegian-e…
