Transportation workers have sacrificed plenty in order to keep our country moving amid #COVID19 and today we will hear about how the pandemic has impacted their health, working conditions, and more. Tune in!
We must all play our part to stop racism! If you haven’t seen it, it does NOT mean it doesn’t exist. I also question any claim that you have not seen it. Listen, learn, recognize it, STOP IT. – at Texas, USA

🤜 People not dying is more important than potholes. 🤜 People not dying is more important than traffic congestion. 🤜 People not dying is more important than parking. We need safe infrastructure and enforcement. @MayorBowser @SafeDC @DDOTDC @DCDPW @DCPoliceDept

That’s why we’re at the Wilson Building tomorrow. This is not a single agency problem. It’s a city-wide leadership failure. Join the rally at waba.org/enough

Construction is currently closing three! bike lanes, a crosswalk, and half a regular lane with no safe accommodations or permit. 15th and R NW. Do we have to wait for someone to die here too? @WABADC @allwalksdc @DDOTDC @DCVisionZero @ZeroVisionDC #bikeDC

Three years ago, @MayorBowser committed to ending traffic deaths in our city. Since then, more than 100 people have died on our streets. Every year, more people are dying, not fewer. Enough is enough. Rally at the Wilson Building on Thursday. waba.org/enough

To everyone who has spoken out against #GrahamCassidy so far — your calls, tweets and letters are working. Keep up the pressure until 9/30.

Not speeding is, in fact, pretty easy: 1. Read sign 2. Compare number to speedometer. 3. Apply pressure to brake pedal as needed.

So we'd love to see @DDOTDC look at @marycheh's letter as a road diet to-do list.

Speeding isn't just a problem for people on bikes or on foot. It's a problem for everyone. (Warning: category 4 tweetstorm approaching) nitter.gq/MartinDiCaro/status/91…

#CarFreeDay is an annual reminder of the absurd quantities of space the automobile system is consuming.
