Great online lecture series about mobility analysis and planning, brought to you by Mobility Lab of University of Tartu.

Every time I read about bike share in Montreal - going on strong after 15 years, now right through the winter - I ask myself, what is taking Ottawa so long?

I know a great mobility-focused research team in Tartu, Estonia that has a couple of Ph.D. positions up grabs in human geography/sociology. Find out more at Mobility Lab of University of Tartu

In addition to bike share, Tartu linn has a very cool cargo bike rental service. This makes bike share work for more people, more of the time. cyclurban.eu/bicycle-librar… EnviroCentre Bike Ottawa Mobility Lab of University of Tartu

I have long had the same question as @CWhitzman.

Particularly considering it has a population of about 100k, Tartu, Estonia has been investing in some very impressive underpasses for walking and cycling. Mobility Lab of University of Tartu Tartu linn news.err.ee/1609325250/two…

If you want to build public and political support for greener, healthier streets, show people realistic images of what these actually look like. Mobility Lab of University of Tartu

Fresh ideas, competition, and opportunity for students. In the end, the influence on Ottawa's urban environment can only be positive. ncc-ccn.gc.ca/events/urban-d…

Amazing to see 200 kids walk or bike to school at École du Grand-Boisé in Chelsea this morning. Thanks to all involved inlcuding Mobi-O, the school, the MRC des Collines, and all volunteers.

-Downtown pedestrian safety zone -Toddler-friendly playground -New cargo bike rental locations -More bushes! All ideas from Tartu linn's participatory budget last fall. Citizens submit and choose winning ideas for city investment of 200 000 EUR. news.err.ee/1609107455/ide… #ERR

Love this map by Bryan R. Vallejo showing where Tartu linn bike share users go (everywhere!). Part of a great project I am working with Mobility Lab of University of Tartu

Fantastic #MobileTartu2024. Tartu linn e-bike #bikeshare for a tour and to get to the conference this morning. Talked about bike share and learned so much mobility from all the participants. See you at #MobileTartu2026! Thanks Mobility Lab of University of Tartu

#Tartu🇪🇪 ideas for #Ottawa: Think something like this near the canal would hit the mark for animating our waterfront.

Agree with @ABetterOttawa. Other suggestions notably absent so far? -Reduce the roads budget, increase parking fees, develop a congestion charging plan.

Congratulations Vélo Canada Bikes for a terrific Bike Day on the Hill - driving home the message of the benefits from having more Canadians on bikes of all types and the importance of strong federal-level support.

Either the Ontario government has completely failed to do its homework, or its efforts against bike lanes are politically driven.

Great time yesterday at the Kichi Sibi Winter Trail fundraiser. This kind of project is so positive for health, wellbeing, equity, and the environment - making outdoor winter fun highly accessible!

Tartu, Estonia (pop. 95 000) has Europe's 4th most popular bike share system per capita. Tartu isn't big, dense, warm, flat, or rich. But bike share is part of public transit, affordable, and available everywhere. tartu.ee/en/news/tartu-…

If congestion is measured by time in A to B car travel, not much has been proven to reduce it. Not road capacity, transit, or bike lanes. Free up road space, and traffic comes back. But some solutions allow an escape. YES to bike lanes, transit, sidewalks, and shared mobility.

Very happy to share this article. Big thanks to Mobility Lab of University of Tartu, Elias Willberg, Bryan R. Vallejo, Siiri Silm, and Age Poom 💙💛 Tartu linn sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
