Feeling grateful today for friends I've made thru #Railvolution over the past decade. Was able to catch up in person with @HorneJerome and @JSulliv12 recently, and got to chat with @breenplaces today. #COVID19 has not stopped those trying to make our cities better for all.
I’ve used many modes over the past several days in Vancouver. Waiting for the route 23 bus, I didn’t expect this little guy to show up. Zippy. And the driver was playing music on the radio. #RailVolution
#RailVolution closing session and @lisabendermpls getting an enthusiastic response to her remarks about planning, equity, politics, and getting things done.
Excellente nouvelle !
Certainement un de mes prochains #liredansletrain #toutlemondelit #dansletrain 🚊

A shoutout tonight to all my #Railvolution colleagues this evening- it’s great to see all the tweets from @WalkableDFW @justupthepike @theoverheadwire @breenplaces @CohenJP @Plauterborn and more exploring #Vancouver. Keep doing your thing and hopefully I’ll see you next year!
Lyft rep at #railvolution says that NYC's CitiBike broke ridership records on the day Lyft integrated CitiBike into its app.
A reminder why ride hail companies prioritize building walled gardens. Mobility integration is powerful.
Arrived in Vancouver for #Railvolution, grabbed a quick Sichuan meal, and cracked open my fortune cookie.
Lowering expectations for this week accordingly.
Getting ready for #Railvolution next week in Vancouver, one of my absolute favorite cities.
If you'll be there LMK-- and on Tuesday, come debate ride hail's impact on transit with me and Uber's
@cap_transport!
Heading to Vancouver for @RailVolution? Want to explore one of the most remarkable transit systems in North America and the city it helped create? My new “Transit Tour Guide” has places to go, transit to see, and even photo spots. #RailVolution...
Urban serendipity FTW: I finished scheduling a shoe shine on the street in downtown #Durham and I turn around and run into #Railvolution colleague @beyonddc, @craftgasm, and their adorable daughter! Made my day.
Leaving Pittsburgh after a great #Railvolution. The BRT headed for the west busway has been “APPROACHING” for 12 minutes after being 2 min away. It’s critical to build dedicated lanes to make BRT work. That has been achieved in much of PGH, but Downtown could be next frontier.
“Tulsa, Austin...” (Oklahoma City, Seattle, San Francisco, too) closing speaker just accidentally Rickrolled us with @Huey_Lewis_News in closing #Railvolution plenary. #showingmyage
“I have a plan, and that’s to sell you books.” - Doug Farr #PointsForHonesty #railvolution #rvpgh
#Railvolution Glass Half Empty: it’s so cold in Ballroom 4 that we’re thinking about burning the Monday program pages for warmth. Glass Half Full: nobody is sleepy at first session after lunch.
Excited to see @spolikov telling #Railvolution #RVPGH audience about our work on station area planning for #DOLRT in #Durham & #ChapelHill! @GoTriangle re-positioned rail alignment to increase economic development/TOD/community benefit opportunities.
About to start in Ballroom 4: three authors, three books, one fun (and hopefully enlightening) discussion. #rvpgh #Railvolution @farrside @bbwilson3
@soccerstreets has created soccer fields In underused spaces at @MARTASERVICE stations to make soccer for everyone! #rvpgh #RailVolution
Hearing about an inspired pilot program where immigrant high school (and an elementary school student) made creative peacemaking improvements on Nolensville Pike in Nashville. Start >> Finish in 3 weeks! #rvpgh #Railvolution
At #Railvolution and just saw quotes from my @DCRPcarolina colleague Lisa Bates flashed on the screen in session on healing in communities. Inspired to see her still bringing it 17 years after studying together! #RVPGH
Always good to hear from Earl Blumenauer talk about why he thinks there are still reasons to believe in Federal Government #RVPGH #RailVolution
@ms_eagan notes that they see 3rd income quintile less interested in bus service because many used to depend on the bus and they take pride in not being dependent. Says we need to pay attention to service quality to win them back! #Yes #RVPGH #RailVolution
“There’s one thing we have that unites black and white in Pittsburgh, and it’s a hatred of bike lanes.” - @IMajestic #RVPGH #railvolution
Diana Bucco reflecting on how many individuals without a car never travel beyond a 3-mile radius. “There’s a big world changing out there, and how to make it part of your life” is an important question that transit can help answer. #RVPGH #railvolution
Got to ride an out-of-regular service spur from Steel Plaza to Penn Station for this evening’s reception. There’s a single track section. #railvolution #RVPGH
A multimodal scene at Penn Station as RailVolutionaries arrive for the reception #rvpgh #Railvolution
Notable takeaway from Pittsburgh Tech Center where a TIF funds public improvements: universities like @CarnegieMellon @PittTweet pay **100%** equivalent of commercial taxes when they occupy a building on property backed by TIF districts #rvpgh #Railvolution
$60m in remediation and preparatory investment so far, target outcome of $1 billion total investment once vertical development builds out. #rvpgh #Railvolution
