Need to spend more time focused on how we can make it safer for adolescents and teens to use #eBikes, Efforts like the one being used by @bikabout.com to engage adolescents and teens in social events, while educating them on safe use of #Bikes #eBikes makes more sense to me. #TransportationLiteracy
Good to see @urbanismspeakeasy.com in new position in Richmond as Director of Department of Transportation. Yes, encourage #TransportationLiteracy and #MobilityEducation early for kids so that they are comfortable using all transportation options. #TransportationWellBeing
Yes, always hard to change a #Paradigm especially when it is so influenced by #Motonormativity. Will this change with the new generation of transportation professionals? I hope so. #TransportationLiteracy #MobilityEducation #TransportationWellBeing #MultiModal
Yes, all kids should have opportunity for #MobilityEducation and #TransportationLiteracy during K-12. This is all about #TransportationWellBeing that supports the 'Well Being: The Five Essential Elements'. #IndependentMobility #Resilience
Also, excellent topic, creating a university level mobilities course/curriculum. I would like to see something for PE and early childhood teachers focused on #TransportationWellBeing #TransportationLiteracy #MobilityEducation
Yes, and design safer infrastructure, while educating children and adults on how to navigate the transportation system. There is a significant lack of #TransportationLiteracy in the US. Like one and done on drivers test while traffic laws change every year. #SafeSystemsApproach
@repgreglandsman.bsky.social if you have time perhaps you could stop by Roll Hill School and check out their new bike/walk/roll skills practice facility, otherwise know as a #TrafficGarden. #TransportationLiteracy #MobilityEducation #SafeStreets4All #ActiveKids
Yes, and we need to provide #TransportationLiteracy #MobilityEducation for kids, and opportunities to bike/walk, so that they are more comfortable trying different transportation modes and start to move away from #Motonormativity. #Options #MultiModal #Discovery #Curiousity #Social #Resilience
Yes, yes and, yes to this! Kids are future leaders. Build the foundation and then follow-up with scaffolded learning opportunities. #TransportationLiteracy #MobilityEd #BikeEd #TrafficGardens #BalanceBikes #BikeBus #WalkingSchoolBus #SchoolStreets #SafeStreets4All #ActiveKids #Social #Community
Yes, was just up in a northern New England state and was sad to see news stories about the number of people over 80 driving involved in fatal traffic crashes. Lack of options in rural areas. I think it is important to build foundation for #TransportationLiteracy early. #MobilityEd in school
'When Driving is Not an Option' @nondriver.bsky.social and 'Climate Resilience for an Aging Nation', @daniellearigoni.bsky.social are good reads related to this issue. We need to educate kids early about transportation and allow them to develop into #MultiModalCitizens. #TransportationLiteracy
It would be interesting to look at the children's #BikeEd #TransportationLiteracy #MobilityEducation efforts in the UK, France, Netherlands, and the US, to see how differences in programs may impact children's independent mobility and independence. #Infrastructure #ParentsSafetyConcern #Traffic
Barriers to children's #IndependentMobility and #Independence. Can #BikeEd in school #TransportationLiteracy #MobilityEducation and #BikeBus #WalkingSchoolBus help change this statistic? Interventions needed to help change parental safety perceptions? #InfrastructureDesign #SafeStreets4All
Yes, we need #MultiModalCitizens, multiple transportation options, safe infrastructure for active transportation, #SafeSystemsApproach in policy, and #TransportationLiteracy #MobilityEducation in PreK-12. #Walk #Bike #Transit #Train #3C&DCorridor #IndependentMobility4Kids
Yes, we need better infrastructure for all modes, especially kids, and #TransportationLiteracy in school for PreK-12. Seems to be happening in many countries. This is definitely a barrier to kids having #IndependentMobility and #Independence. #BikeEd #BalanceBikes #TrafficGardens #BikeBus #BiciBus
Why we need #TransportationLiteracy in PreK-12, #BikeEd #BalanceBikes #TrafficGardens #BikeBus in school. "That’s why Meenken believes sustainable mobility education is essential. “It empowers kids to reflect on their own mobility choices — and the impact those choices have on the planet.”
Yes, starting #TransportationLiteracy at an early age. #EarlyChildhoodMobility
Fun time touring and presenting with team at NACTO Designing Cities Conference, Traffic Garden Walkshop in DC. Do you have a traffic garden in your city? @finnbike.bsky.social #TrafficGardens #BalanceBikes #BikeEd #BikeBus #TransportationLiteracy #SafeStreets4All wjla.com/news/local/w...
Thank you. Excellent addition to the Play Mobil landscape for my granddaughters to play with. #TransportationImaginaries #TransportationLiteracy #CargoBikeFun
#Motornormativity and #CarCultureBias is strong in the US. Perceptions of safety versus facts. Transit is definitely safer, and less stressful. Perhaps if we introduced kids to transit through field trips in school the paradigm might change? #TransportationLiteracy #MultiModalCitizens
