Today's #WeekWithoutDriving adventure: Biking like 40 pounds of compost 11 miles across Dallas only to find that I came on the wrong day. Luckily they let me drop it off anyway.
My ride was mostly pleasant and I'd do it again, but planning is key!

“This [general mobility program] was an attempt to compromise with those that just tried to kill you — and it didn’t work,” said Tyler Wright, vice president of pro-transit advocacy group Dallas Area Transit Alliance.

We at Dallas Area Transit Alliance oppose DART’s 5% GMP. This proposal threatens the future of DART and the livelihoods of thousands who rely on crucial bus, rail, on demand, and paratransit routes.
Stand with us to protect DART. #nocapsnocuts

If you live in Dallas's District 11, DON'T FORGET TO VOTE Saturday, June 7th in the D11 runoff!
While we can't officially endorse as a group, read our Substack post by Hexel Colorado about Bill Roth's long record of opposing affordable housing- and why housing advocates are concerned.

Call your rep and bring SB 15 (starter homes bill) across the finish line!
Conference report is out & the offending amendment has been removed!
TX folks, call your house reps here if you got some time today: wrm.capitol.texas.gov/home
Tell them to vote yes on SB 15! Lowering minimum lot sizes for new developments will reduce sprawl and boost affordability.
