Every decision behind the wheel counts. Slow down!!!! to save lives.
While taking my son to school this morning, I drove past a vehicle-pedestrian crash that just occurred close to my neighborhood. Seeing someone lying face down in the street motionless hit me like a punch in the gut. I later confirmed they did not survive. Everyone is in a rush this time of year, and driving behavior reflects this. PLEASE - SLOW DOWN. Lives are at stake, and by simply driving more slowly and attentively, you could save one. Tragedy doesn't pause for the holidays. Be safe out there.
Very crucial information for #motorists. Especially, to keep in mind during the #Holiday Season 👇 #transportation #safety #roadways
Roadways outside airport terminals can be tricky to navigate because of a high percentage of motorists unfamiliar with the airport and the many professional drivers circulating. https://ow.ly/K2eG50UtwMs

Wishing for more funding for sidewalks, bike lanes, and Safe Routes to School? You’re in luck! Thanks to Representative Rick Larsen (D-WA), the Ranking Democrat on the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, there is $180 million in additional funding coming to states through the Transportation Alternatives Program. This week, Congress passed the Water Resources Development Act of 2024. As part of this bill, Congress is transferring unused funding from the TIFIA Program (Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act) into the Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG), which houses the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP). At first, the bill only sent additional funding to STBG and not all the way through to TAP, but Representative Rick Larsen, a long-time champion of the Transportation Alternatives Program, secured an agreement so the funding flows all the way through the Surface Transportation Block Grant into TAP as well. Ultimately, the agreement was supported by House T&I Chair Sam Graves (R-MO), and Senate Environment and Public Works Chair Tom Carper (D-DE) and its Ranking Member Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV). Thank you for your leadership, Representative Larsen! Curious how much more money this means for your state? See the spreadsheet below. What does your community hope to build with these additional funds?
It's time to celebrate Mayo Hidalgo and what she has achieved in Paris. More cities should follow suit. #made2walk #walking #climateaction #sustainability #15minutecity #cleanair #Paris
🚴♀️🌳 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬: 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐁𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐲 🌟🌍 In 2007, Paris was suffocating—literally, shrouded in smog, with air pollution blanketing the city. Today #Paris has undergone a breathtaking transformation, towards a cleaner, greener, and more livable city. Millions of Parisians can breath again! This radical change started in 2014, under Mayor Anne Hidalgo’s bold leadership. Her vision? To put people and the planet first. Here’s how she and her team did it: ✅ Built 100s of Kilometers of Bike Lanes: Encouraging cycling as a primary mode of transport. ✅ Citywide 30 km/h Speed Limit: Quieter, safer streets for all. ✅ 300 Car Free School Streets: putting the safety of children first. ✅ Reclaimed Public Spaces: Eliminated tens of thousands of parking spots, converting them into parks, pedestrian zones, and playgrounds. ✅ Planted Tens of Thousands of Trees: Tackling the urban heat island effect and improving air quality. ✅ Car-Free Zones: Closed the city center to through traffic and created car-free play streets. 🚨 The results? Air pollution now affects only the largest roads, like the ring road. Millions of Parisians enjoy cleaner air, safer streets, and a higher quality of life. 🌟 This transformation is proof that bold, visionary urban policies work. Paris didn’t just adapt; it reimagined itself. And it took a courageous and visionary leader to do it. ❓ The big question: When will other leaders muster the courage to follow in Paris’s footsteps? Let’s commit to building cities for people, not just cars. The future is waiting. 💪🌏 #UrbanTransformation #Paris #Sustainability #Leadership #CleanAir #CyclingRevolution #CitiesForPeople H/T: Ingwar Perowanowitsch and Alexis Marchand
