Tribes have long been among the staunchest advocates of wildlife crossings. But grant funding stipulations, as well as some state agencies like the #NewMexico Dept. of Transportation, can work against them.
Nevertheless, tribes like the Stillaguamish, the Upper Skagit, the Santa Ana Pueblo, the Burns Paiute, and the Salish and Kootenai are taking the lead on connecting habitat and reducing the harms of American highways and interstates.
Looks like another successful #OpenStreets for #boston#dorchester with a whole bunch of both gov and charity causes pitching their ideas alongside music, games, food and plenty of nicks and nacks.
The real success is seeing RBCs (roving bands of children) just enjoying the #carFree street. More of this!
"For residents of #Paris and the inner suburbs, however, #publicTransport is the main motorized mode. It is also the leading regional mode for going to work and for going to study. Then, cycling clearly established itself in Paris. Parisians use #bicycles more than #cars."
"#Portland'er Rachel O'Connor's life has been "transformed" in just five months since she made a fateful decision to sell her beloved minivan. #CarFree#BikeTooter#pdxBikes
"thinking it would be a temporary way to save some money... felt a lot more doable on an #eBike... my life has been completely transformed by the experiences I’ve had on a bike the past five months. Here are some rapid-fire highlights of how I have evolved, as well as some hacks I’ve stumbled upon"
Ddim yn cofio gweld hyn o'r blaen, ond eitha defnyddiol ar gyfer cynllunio gwyliau #diGar - map Cymru o gysylltiadau trafnidiaeth cyhoeddus, ar fodel map eiconig sustem trenau danddaearol Llundain. Fel hwnna, dyw e ddim i ddilyn graddfa a daearyddiaeth yn agos iawn, ond mae'n wneud y tro.
Newydd sylweddoli ei bod hi'n union flwyddyn ers i'n car farw (ar fy ffordd i'r gwaith) a phenderfynon ni fynd yn ddi-gar, yn lle gwario £1500 i'w drwsio.
Dydw i ddim wedi gyrru ers hynny, mae fy mhartner wedi benthyg car ffrind efallai hanner dwsin o weithiau, yn bennaf i fynd â ffrind arall (anabl) i'r dre.
Ar wahân i leihau nifer y lleoedd dw i’n chwarae #Ingress, dw i heb weld eisiau o gwbl, a ddim yn gallu dychmygu prynu car eto, cyn belled â fy mod yn ddigon ffit i ddringo’r allt ar y beic trydan.
The worst part about being #CarFree in #Seattle is that high-density housing is only allowed to be built in the areas with the most car traffic. As an obligate pedestrian, you have to deal with the noise, air pollution, and danger from cars while not benefitting from the convenience of being able to drive
The people who can actually afford a house are the ones who get to enjoy quiet and safe streets while making the city worse for everyone else. Limits on density privilege the wealthy
One of the reasons I find it difficult to have any interest or motivation to learn to operate an automobile is I've rarely been in situations where they were essential.
When people think of family trips maybe they think of car rides. For me, I think of long train rides through Malaysia and Thailand; rickety microbuses in Borneo; motorbike taxis to Cambodia.
I'm almost 40 and I've never had a drivers license. I'm only considering one as a form of identification (I already have a StateID).
@skinnylatte I think this is what's missing from so much of the polarized, holier-than-thou transit / #CarFree discourse. Someone can be ideologically against cars and still practically dependent on them, at least in part, for systemic reasons.
Question for #carfree parents, or just parents that walk/bike their kid to school; what do you do for severe thunderstorms? Does the school make any allowances around it? This morning we had severe storms with flooding and a tornado warning and it wasn't until later that I noticed an email from the superintendent saying that people could wait and tardiness would be excused. #BikeTooter
#CNBC hosts are baffled that people actually want to live in this #CarFree city in Tempe, #Arizona. "What do you do when your friends come over?" "Are there sufficient dry cleaners?" 🙄
