It's pretty remarkable how well Amtrak's Northeast Corridor is performing in COVID ridership recovery compared to local public transportation in the cities it serves. It's also significantly outperforming air travel along the corridor.
In local elections yesterday in the UK, Labour has trounced the Tories. With 87/107 councils declared so far, Labour has picked up 10 councils (to controlling 46) & Conservatives lost 6 (to controlling 5). theguardian.com/politics/ng-in…

Just an FYI for people referencing the Civil Rights Movement as the ideal and legal means of protesting, students sitting in at lunch counters, in movie theaters, in bus terminals and marching in public parks were violating laws and ordinances and agents of the state were also…
This is "safety" and "free speech" at @dartmouth: former director of Jewish studies and history professor Annelise Orleck thrown to the ground by cops while engaged in nonviolent protest. Her "crime"--emphatic speech. Shame.

Ridership continued to tick up in 2023, but remains behind 2019 levels in all major urban areas, US & Canada. Per-capita, large Canadian urban areas continue to outperform US equivalents.

Colorado will implement a fee on oil & gas drilling that generates $138m annually, 80% to be used for transit. Of transit funding, 70% will go to transit operations statewide & the rest for state rail projects (e.g., Front Range rail) & a competitive grant cpr.org/2024/04/29/maj…
Very interesting proposals for Chicago region transit, which would give the unified transit authority the power to invest directly in transit oriented development and aid the development of transit focused land use plans.

From Chicago to Los Angeles, Philadelphia to Boston, everyone’s talking about regional rail, and not a moment too soon. The commuter systems of yesterday need to be recalibrated to serve more than peak commuters to the office.

@yfreemark I hope we blow past 2019 as a goal after years of decline. Let's go back to 2007 service hour to population ratios. The cuts are even worse when considering population.
@yfreemark @DannyHavelick have we considered one person travelling 1.2 million times per day?
@yfreemark The Region of Waterloo is doing pretty great for ridership lately. x.com/_ChanFace/stat…
Waterloo sees yet another record-breaking ridership.🧵 GRT had its busiest year in 2023. With annual ridership of 26.4 million, it was an increase of 48% over 2022 and a 20% increase over the previous record year of 2019, when ridership hit 22 million. cbc.ca/news/canada/ki…
@yfreemark Is it possible to look at day of the week and or by bus vs. rail? In Los Angeles our weekend bus ridership, I believe, has passed pre-COVID levels. I think looking at day of week helps to understand how people are now using transit differently (less commute, more other trips)
@yfreemark Evergreen Extension ridership feels high enough to justify longer trains if we had the rolling stock
"Fantastique" : Un avant/après validé par "saccageparis" alors que d'habitude, ils critiquent le retrait du parking et la coupe des arbres anciens, comme quoi c'est possible :) [ou alors, quand on est dans une ville de droite, les repères changent ;)]
🤩 La nouvelle piste cyclable Av. Charles de Gaulle à Neuilly est fantastique : sécurisée, arborée, parfaitement intégrée dans l’environnement. Pas de gros blocs de granit casse gueule comme à #saccageparis et un partage de l’espace harmonieux avec les autres formes de mobilités.
@yfreemark The key to an American MTR would be making such an entity exempt from limits on density and uses.
@yfreemark It started with a proposal to cut elected board members out of frustration for the lack of progress on the Boulder rail line, and includes provisions to study splitting the agency up in the long term cpr.org/2024/03/26/sta…
@yfreemark All five Cook County seats on Metra’s board are statutorily required to be suburbanites
@yfreemark Which doesn’t even make sense given how many of the Metra stations are currently within the city limits compared to suburban Cook.
@yfreemark Cook County seats can’t be strictly counted as suburban, since city residents still elect county officials & account for more than 50% of county population.
@yfreemark It's a similar accountability structure to the MTA, though it wouldn't come with toll subsidies.
@yfreemark It’ll be fascinating to see how much ridership this line gets while it is isolated - a real test of Bellevue as a destination in its own right.
@yfreemark Sorry, ALM is a better supply/demand match than traditional light rail for IBX.
@yfreemark You wanna talk about DRC, don’t you?
@yfreemark that's a good way to describe Atlanta's "BRT"
