Not sure who's responsible for repaving Ellerbe Creek Trail, @dprplaymore, CityofDurhamNC Public Works or General Services, but I want to say thank you. I rode on it this morning and it is an absolute dream. Night and day difference vs before. Can't wait to bring my kids on it!

Great opening panel at #APBP2022 with incredible local elected officials working on “big questions”. Favorite point made by council member Jalali: we need to rethink the power structure in transportation agencies because people using transit everyday not represented on boards.

TIL Caltrans funds quick build projects through a program with its own budget separate from active transportation. These are low cost/easier implementation projects (not pilots/temporary) that can help accelerate impact. Love state DOT innovation! #APBP2022

When we first launched the public dashboard, we hadn't anticipated the utility of stakeholders benchmarking their programs. As we got more and more feedback about the benefits of seeing program comparisons, we doubled-down on those features. Stay tuned for more...

our team has been *on the grind*. In the last year, we went from 0 to 51 cities on the Global Micromobility Index, and DC was the 51st <3 ridereport.com/blog/51st-dash…

This report backs up what many have felt for a long time: ebike subsidies represent one of the best investments a government can make as part of its transportation, climate, and economic strategy. Special shoutouts to nelle pierson Brian for leading Ride Report's efforts!

In 2022, Denver launched an ebike incentive program. 4,734 Denver residents became new ebike owners in just 9 month. The popularity of Denver's ebike rebates exceeded expectations and generated local and national coverage. Here's some stats: 1/n

Great summary of Denver's ebike subsidy white paper in Streetsblog USA by streetsblogkea Great Salisbury's Take quote noting residents “flooded the application site like Taylor Swift fans flooding Ticketmaster” Lots of latent demand for a great program.

Denver is giving its residents a rebate on e-bike purchases, and it's having a big impact. According to Ride Report, participants have replaced 3.4 vehicle trips per week on average, reducing CO2 emissions by 2040 tons and saving about $1M in fuel costs! axios.com/local/denver/2…

Highly recommend grabbing some snacks and filling out the surveys of all bike surveys. Advocates, policymakers, and planners need more ebike data. Please help spread the word 📢!

Excited to continue collaborating with Ryan -- he is a star who exceeded all expectations for the fledgling OakDOT. Can't wait to apply his expertise to Ride Report.
