The latest environmental assessment report nails down key details on how congestion pricing will work, including: a once-per-day cap on charges for taxis and for-hire vehicles; a 50% toll reduction in the wee hours of the morning, and more policies.

Refresh my memory: Didn't Tommy leave DOEE to go work in the MMB Presents a Mayor's Office office? If so, she's leaving no stone unturned in her war on making a better DC.

“The problem with all the declarations that remote work was a big mistake? They’re mostly made by men. The lack of mothers’ voices in the decision-making is leading to, well, really poor decision-making.”

@bikepedantic I’m always a lil happier when I see someone cruise past on the clunkiest big cargo e-bike with full panniers and maybe a kiddo or two
We know that every bike ride taken is a positive - it contributes to safety-in-numbers, it hopefully gets counted somehow to justify more facilities, it is cleaner and healthier than alternatives, it helps normalize the behavior, etc etc.
But here's a theory - i think every bike ride can bring happiness to other riders. Validates us, lets us know that we're not alone, gives us hope that all the fights are leading us to a marginally-better future.
So go take a ride, because it makes me happy.
They were smiling, so let's assume that it was good.

Doing a thing later this month: "Uplanned #pandemic #planning: Lessons learned from rapid #COVID street transformations."
It's a mini-webinar (aka practice byte) on some stuff I've been working on through the Collaborative Sciences Center for Road Safety. Registration is free, and it's only half an hour!
