Great question from OregonDOT's Josh Roll for today's bicycle modeling presenters: "Do any of you bicycle regularly?" None did (but all used to). Does it matter? I'm not sure, but interesting. #trbappcon

Yes, we should build protected bike lanes, but bike boulevards should also be part of the solution. Here's some evidence from our work at TREC at PSU Portland State Research Joe Broach A case for bike boulevards jenniferdill.net/2019/06/27/a-c…

A really fun project for our friends up the hill...

The result of a fun add-on to our Family Activity Study. We occasionally sent out web maps asking which mode (bike, walk, bus, drive) was actually being used. Results helped us improve our own detection rates.

A report prepared by @DrMarisaZapata1 and Joe Broach of Portland State Research in partnership with Washington Park found that people of color are under-represented among park visitors coming from within the Portland region, but the trend has improved from 2014-2017. trec.pdx.edu/news/equitable…

All #trbam paper reviews will be one-handed this year...

First survey that caught me. Usually they have the "35-44 nothing to see here lalalalala" option

2 recs from post: 1. Incorporate the work of reference letter-writing into regular faculty review. Normalize & reward this kind of labor. 2. Administrators should collect data, e.g. # requests, who bears the burden most in various departments?

They say kids change everything, but really I just wake up and have a cup of coffee like I always have.

Starting the day with public transit en route to my tenth (!) #TRBAM. If only flying were this pleasant... TriMet

Has anyone looked into the perception of these stair+elevator overcrossings for bikes (news.trimet.org/2020/01/new-pe…)? Are we going to regret these in 10 years? NITC BikePortland Federal Transit Admn TriMet

Some of the clearest writing I've seen on local pandemic research & policy by Gabriel Leung. Addresses data/modeling issues that make me yell at my (hopefully) muted zoom meeting window while reading news. nytimes.com/2020/04/06/opi…

Boundaries are hard. Easy to say "all the streets in Portland" but behind that are choices about: which source (OpenStreetMap), which Portland (Metro Planning Area), which "in" (intersects boundary). One answer is there are about 270k street segments in Portland (17.7km/11k mi).

“I mean, we’re paying people not to work,” Mr. Kudlow said on CNN. “It’s better than their salaries would get." -guy talking about less than $30k/yr. Sounds like a problem with the salaries not the benefits...

Very excited that these bike share equity 2-pagers are making our research more accessible! Check them out on Better Bike Share's new website!Thanks to Better Bike Share and TREC at PSU for supporting the work! John MacArthur Joe Broach
