Félicitations à @villedemontreal.montreal.ca pour cette mesure inclusive : à certaines intersections avec feux sonores, un appui prolongé sur le bouton piéton déclenche une phase protégée ou prolonge le temps de traverse.👏👣 #accessibilité #visionzero

Montréal est maintenant la 1ère ville en Amérique du Nord à avoir reçu le label "Bike City" de l'UCI! Ca veut dire qu'on accueille des événements cyclistes d'envergure, tout en développant le réseau cyclable du quotidien. Fierté!

it's cool to see translink, the mayors' council and access for everyone doing some self-advocacy to secure more frequent transit through ops funding.
in toronto, this doesn't happen. while some of our board cares about fixing funding, our ceo recently boasted about transit being packed 🙄

Within hours, TTC took down the signs installed by volunteers this morning.
We'd hoped our helpful suggestions would stick around to help riders navigate.
That's why we're asking Councillors to invest in the TTC's wayfinding strategy in the next budget: tttcriders.ca/wayfinding

Cette histoire a été montée de toute pièce par le maire d'Anjou Luis Miranda.
Que peut-on s'attendre d'un maire qui intimide les enfants qui viennent au conseil d'arrondissement?
Lui on s'y attend.
Mais que ce même mensonge soit repris par Soraya Martinez, c'est inacceptable.

Lotta big upgrades to the MTA's front-facing user experience in the last 12-18 months. Shows what the agency can do when the leadership isn't getting cycled out every ~nine months after a gubernatorial tantrum.
Say hello to a new subway map! 🗺️
Today, the MTA unveiled a new subway diagram that provides riders with essential travel information in an easily readable, bright, and orderly manner.

Traffic evaporation happens every time you narrow roadways or charge tolls, but we still have to convince electeds and planners every single time that it works because they never believe it.

No question: Most people would prefer door-to-door, on-demand trips over a fixed-route bus. The problem is that each trip on microtransit/ridehail is *massively subsidized*.
Over time, the transit agency has only bad options:
- Spend additional $$ on on-demand
- Ration trips
- Let service degrade
