Bummed all that's left of #TRBAM is the Thursday AM workshops 😔
I ❤️ this conference-
the 👟🚲🚍🚅🚇🚃🚈 🌱 research, learning, 🤝 networking, but most of all, seeing friends I've made over the years! 😊 Looking at you, #nerdherd! Wishing everyone safe travels home, wherever in the world that may be!

Oh no, @veronicaodavis.bsky.social! I hate to hear! I hope you feel better soon! I'm so glad I got to see you briefly. Safe travels and get well wishes. Take care, friend!

@danielkins.bsky.social Oh no! Sorry to hear that. But wait, you were here and I missed you?! 😞 I hope you better soon!!

Thanks! 😊

Thanks for the correction @notpodium.bsky.social! Podium 🤦🏻‍♀️ - what was I thinking?! That's what I get for operating on 3 hours of sleep! I'm honestly surprised that I'm forming sentences at this point. 🤪

Also, I'm new here. If you're not a bot, how do you edit alt text within a previous skeet?

Photo of a handwritten blue and red schedule with daily weather forecasts. There is doodle of Washington D.C.'s geographic boundary with the words Washington D.C. along one of the edges and the district flag below the words doodled inside the district boundaries.

Packing for #TRBAM
Forecast: really cold 🥶

Bumping the reception spreadsheet for #TRBAM 2025 - really awesome to see the incredible lineup of events this year! See y’all in a few weeks 🥂

I'm down for both!

🎶 It's the most wonderful time of the year! 🎶 It's time to start planning my TRBAM schedule!! 🤓🚌🚅🚃🚇

Picture of me crouching down with my nephew and my husband standing behind us. We're all smiling while we wait at our bus stop. We're all wearing coats. The sun is shining in the top left corner. There is a tree in the top right corner.

Picture of a sign attached to the bus stop. The sign says SCAN ME PROVIDE BUS STOP FEEDBACK scam the QR Code and let us know about the condition of this bus stop. There is a square QR code to the right.

Picture of a bus approaching an intersection of a busy tree-limes street. The intersection has high visibility cross walks.

This #TransitThursday, I'm thankful to live near an accessible, clean bus stop with frequent, reliable bus service. What about your transit experience are you thankful for this #TransitThursday?

Reid Ewing and crew here on the classic transit planning question, what consultant @humantransit.bsky.social calls the ridership-coverage tradeoff: do you maximize ridership with frequent buses in areas with the most riders or do you send buses to every corner of the city but less frequently?

Thanks!

I'm still figuring out Bluesky. Not sure I threaded the story correctly. ::SIGH:: Missing the old Twitter days...

I know I've said it before, but thanks for writing your book. I enjoy how much it keeps me thinking.

Loving the video game influences. Truly jealous that you grew up in an Amtrak family!!

A mix of...
- Playing a lot of SimCity, where transit is OP
- A dad working for Amtrak where I got to camp out at & explore 30th St Station, as well as play with track management training software
- ...

I love it
"...this is good?"
I'm also super jealous! I imagine that even in the 80's Singapore had better transit options than most of the US.

I hope we can all help change that!

I love this story! Thanks for sharing Kendra! I completely resonate with the "not driving first" mindset - it truly shifts one's perspective on travel.

I didn't learn to drive until I was 19. In HS, a fellow XC teammate was struck and killed by a driver. It would be years before I realized how much this tragedy affected my feelings about driving. It also built a core value within me - safer streets for people.
#MyTransitStory #TransitThursday

In high school, my mom took a job in DC while we still lived in Raleigh. We'd visit & she'd hand me a metro card and let me explore the city. My first 🚇 experience. Riding was like nothing I'd experienced before.

High capacity transit in cities just made sense. #MyTransitStory #TransitThursday

Same!!

Let's get together!

I grew up in Detroit sprawl hearing about long-dead transit routes.
I constantly read about Portland's transportation and land use and moved there, working for years to promote the best research on biking, walking and transit.
Then I couldn't afford it and left for a small city.
