I've enjoyed hearing Saul Griffith on David Roberts's podcast. Looking forward to reading the book.

It would be great to officially recognize exceptional King County Metro -- inactive account bus drivers. In Atlanta, the MARTA Army collects nominations from transit riders. Each year, nominated front-line employees are awarded a medal of achievement at a gala ceremony, #MARTAkudos.

2021 is an election year in the ATL. So grateful for the phenomenal Saba Long breaking it all down on her new podcast Where the Party At?!

Just add 20 years! We are excited to be sharing some our findings and recommendations from Operation Bus Stop Census at this year’s Georgia Bike-Walk Summit. We hope you can join in to learn how we can take a step towards more safe, accessible, and dignified bus stops.

According to Transit data: 1) Transit ridership is even more concentrated during rush hours than before the pandemic 2) Rail ridership is closer to pre-pandemic levels than bus Big if true. This is the opposite of what we were seeing last year.

We're happy to announce Saba Long as ACC's first executive director! We know she will be a great addition to the team and will help further our mission of providing civic, solutions-based journalism. Learn more about Saba: ow.ly/qvC450Gvow7

When the I-85 bridge collapsed in flames, Jason Dozier and Claire were among the first to put on a #MARTAArmy vest and help first time transit riders navigate the system. Today, Atlanta is lucky to have Jason as a councilmember! #ATLpol

"When I'm scheduling a block, recharging time is key" 🔥 The future of transit scheduling software truly belongs to those who can optimize charge management

Excellent work by MARTA Army documenting bus stop accessibility in the ATL metro. Out of the 3,200 stops surveyed, 25% had no sidewalks at all. Sidewalks are infrastructure. So are benches, shelters and signage. #BuildBackBetter

Mark your calendars for Transit Operator Appreciation Day on March 18th. To celebrate, we are launching #MARTAKudos 2022. #MARTAKudos is an initiative where riders submit stories about MARTA workers that go above and beyond to make the ridership experience great.

The MARTA Army is looking for someone to lead the outreach as it continues to grow. It's an amazing opportunity to join an organization empowering Metro Atlanta residents improve the transit ridership experience in their own neighborhoods.

New study examines ridership impacts of light rail and bus rapid transit in the Twin Cities: "The Green Line LRT generated 86% more ridership and the arterial BRT A Line generated 12% more ridership than local bus service [would have achieved]." doi.org/10.1177/036119…

Very happy to be sworn in this week by new boss MayorWu, surrounded by family.

Very honored to be selected as an LSRF fellow and to be joining this community! Thank you Life Sciences Research Foundation and @HHMI for the opportunity, and to all of my mentors, especially Joseph Mougous and DWeissLab for the support and encouragement! Congrats to my fellow awardees 🎉
