Pittsburghers for Public Transit Curious how Port Authority of Allegheny County measures u...

If you’re at @RailVolution and you’re staying around tonight, @Pgh4PubTransit is hosting me for a talk, Q&A, and signing for my new book. It’s in the conference hotel immediately after regional day. #rvpgh www.facebook.com/192650014094458/posts/27...

These are my people. #rvpgh

You know you’re at @RailVolution when “center running dedicated lanes” is an applause line. ⁦@IndyGoBus⁩ #rvpgh #pkslam

Slides are gettin’ awesome. #railvolution #rvpgh

I’m having happy memories of PK slam last year... there is no transit-oriented agriculture. #rvpgh

I am inclined to like this view. #rvpgh

“I have a plan, and that’s to sell you books.” - Doug Farr #PointsForHonesty #railvolution #rvpgh

@Metrolinx in Canada advertised their fare discount for transfers. #railvolution #rvpgh

At #rvpgh: ⁦@LauraLoeSeattle⁩ and ⁦@theoverheadwire⁩ sporting ⁦@drooliet⁩ housing pins.

TIL that multiple Pittsburgh utilities have blanket permits that allow them to close any street at any time without informing the transit agency in advance. #rvpgh

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 is expanding the definition of “soccer mom” in Atlanta around @MARTASERVICE stations #rvpgh @Duffcycle will love this.

@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

More in my book: http://trainsbusespeople.com If you’re at #RVPGH, come see me, @farrside, and @bbwilson3 at lunch today for “New Books for Rail~Volutionaries.”

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

Now on sale at ⁦@RailVolution⁩, the conference where I had many of the conversations that inspired it: “Trains, Buses, People: an Opinionated Atlas of Transit.” (http://trainsbusespeople.com — hear more about it (and two other new books) at lunch today, ballroom 4. #rvpgh

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

Now exploring redevelopment of shuttered steel mill. Mill 19 will have advanced robotics buildings built in its shell. Catalytic infrastructure in form of sidewalk, storm water, permeable paved cycle track. Great integrated planning at Hazelwood Green #Railvolution #rvpgh

The Waterfront redevelopment removed 12m square feet of industrial buildings and built a suburban power center format. Four jurisdictions created a revenue sharing agreement and used PA’s first TIF to facilitate #rvpgh #Railvolution

I'm looking forward to participating in Regional Day on Wednesday along with @ms_eagan @christofspieler @jrgonzalez00 @andrewdgh @ACE_Fitzgerald and more! Come talk about the future of transit in #Pittsburgh with us! #rvpgh #RailVolution
