I saw this image on "What does it mean?" so my answer was, "See if your municipality has an Active Transportation map. Overlay the last image on it, and then you'll understand."

In positive news, the Province of BC published a list of the 2024-25 active transportation grants for communities including "multi-use pathways, protected bike lanes, pedestrian bridges, and safety improvements". #biketooter #yyjbike #bikeyvr #bikelanes #activetransportation #cycling

We notice @ternbicycles hasn’t posted on Mastodon about this, so we’re sharing this news with the Fediverse: Tern Bicycles has a new (Gen 3, 2025 model) Tern GSD, "Our Best Cargo eBike for Families.”

If our kids were still young, and budget allowed, we’d love to have one! Check them out: https://www.ternbicycles.com/en/bikes/473/gsd?utm_campaign=gsd-g3&utm_source=mc-reg&utm_medium=email&utm_content=email1&mc_cid=8c4ba2b09a&mc_eid=1473c4e3fb BTW, we got a kick out of clicking their day/night option—and that photo made us wish libraries had Terns for bookmobiles!

"Dr. Rodrigo Ordonhas Viseu Cardoso, an architect and professor at TU Delft, asked me a simple question that framed my trip: 'What comes first? Well-planned infrastructure, then behavioral changes or behavioral changes first, then infrastructure?’”—Quinn Gregory’

While biking on Pearl Street tonight, we noticed another active transportation user—this skateboarder, who we could very easily spot for blocks ahead of us. We eventually caught up with him and enjoyed chatting. He said his boss in Reno had gifted him that high-visibility jacket.

"I would despair in this political moment if I thought I had to wait until November 2028 to make a statement on my beliefs for a better world….Bicycling holds the potential to be a bulwark against the environmental crisis bearing down on our state in the form of extreme weather and wildfires. There is a fallacy that high tech solutions are the only way out, when the simple bicycle is the best zero carbon vehicle known to man.

"As we look beyond the challenges of today toward the possibilities of tomorrow, we at CalBike are gearing up for an ambitious 2025. Every pedal push in our community is more than just a ride; it’s a step towards a sustainable future."—Kendra Ramsey, ED, #CaliforniaBicycleCoalition / #CalBike

Opening the State Office Campus

This would be good for state employees working on the office campus as well. Additional businesses within walking distance would improve their quality of life (particularly businesses like restaurants, banks, or pharmacies), as well as making active transportation more viable.

"Warren Wells, policy and planning director for the Marin County Bicycle Coalition, said his organization has long been a supporter of e-bikes and believes they can make an impact on climate goals.

“'However, for the past year we have been sounding the alarm about electric motorcycles capable of speeds over 30 mph being marketed as e-bikes and sold to young people."

ICYMI: Marin County Bicycle Coalition, along with Bicycling Monterey and others, issued a related statement Dec 10. https://bikemonterey.org/california-bicycle-advocates-call-on-elected-leaders-to-protect-e-bike-riders.html

This is an excellent short video from BC Translink showing how dedicated transit lanes move more people than mixed traffic lanes, allowing those who have an option to choose transit.

This same concept applies to dedicated space for active transportation like walking and cycling - mixed car traffic is the lowest-capacity way to move people around!

The Monterey County seat and its largest city, Salinas, was selected as one of 13 projects throughout California to receive #ActiveTransportation Program (ATP) funds intended to improve walking and biking routes in disadvantaged communities. https://www.ksbw.com/article/salinas-awarded-dollar10-million-california-improve-route-school-safety/63138649

The Active Transportation Program is the state's only dedicated funding source for walking and biking
projects. "With a reduced funding level of $168.7 million, the Commission faced an unprecedented shortfall in funding for its most oversubscribed competitive program that is critical to meeting the state’s #climate, #safety, and #equity goals. The Commission received 277 project applications requesting $2.5 billion in funds for the 2025 program cycle – about 15 times the $168.7 million that is available.” The #Salinas application received a perfect score.

I’ve been monitoring a closed bridge in my city to assess how routing applications update for SUVs vs #ActiveTransportation. Well, the bridge opened to all traffic just minutes ago. Let’s see what happens. #BikeTooter #urbanism #UrbanPlanning
