Here's Why Governments Should Start Paying People to Bike to Work

So reading the Dec 2025 Transportation Funding Report released by PBOT. I'm confused by the grading on some of these Evaluation Criteria. Ex: They graded congestion pricing as "Untested, or failed in past applications."??? Congestion pricing in London/NYC/elsewhere is massively successful...
For Clark, it's all about the potholes.

I sat down with the councilor last week to talk about the most consequential move of her young political career: asking Portlanders to pay more for transportation.

Look at the central city riverfront of Portland. It's just so shocking and embarrassing that we tolerate this.

We are 10-12 degrees warmer than average today in Portland, OR. It will be 58F today. (In December!) Yet, people choose to drive single occupancy vehicles every day. Transportation is the highest emitting sector of greenhouse gases in the U.S. #ReduceCarTrips

i’m at the kfc strike. i’m at the taco bell strike. i’m at the combination kfc / taco bell strike.
BREAKING: Workers at a KFC/TacoBell are on strike in Sunnyvale today due to discrimination and for threatening to report workers to ICE for challenging labor conditions.

After years of attacks, enough is enough.

The strength of Santa Clara County is our diversity and we won’t be silenced!

carbrain people want all our infrastructure focused on cars so they can pass through an area faster, meanwhile the people that live in that area walk and ride bicycles. it makes no sense to cater to passersby

The transit service cuts are going to be so horrific I cannot fathom. The next several years are going to be hell. We need a full time legislature. We need special sessions. They have to dig us out of the hell we are in. Reform the fucking tax system. No more budget cuts under wealth inequality.

something profoundly broken about people weaponizing their children as a reason that we should continue to invest in sweeping the homeless. Why is sheltering your children from having to see poverty and injustice more important than just building a policy where we eliminate poverty and injustice?

Years later, I still think about how Parks and Rec uniquely nailed the kind of mean-spiritedness that comes out in people when they're interacting with or speaking to local government.

I've never asked y'all for anything (or if I did I don't remember) so know I'm being a real, real serious rat when I ask this.

If you live in Portland. Let the council know you support this.

I'll think you're cool and be your friend.

a lot of press questions of late have been like “so, many new yorkers are concerned that if zohran wins then their city will turn into portland bc we also elected a bunch of socialists” and i’ve been like “well they probably think that’s pretty rad, we’ll see”

pretty fucking rad indeed it seems

If a bike/walk project isn't good enough to get more people out of cars and onto the street with their feet, it's a waste of money. That's why we need leaders who won't stand for compromised projects that get watered down by bad faith haters and the weak elected officials who sympathize w them.
