On #WDoR2025, we remember and honor those who have lost their lives and those who have been injured, and we act to implement evidence-based solutions to end this crisis.

By 2034, there will be more older adults than children in the U.S. That means we need a different approach that allows people to age in place actively and safely. Walkability is an important solution! Here's how to get your walkability project funded: buff.ly/Ma3OIdz #ActivePeople

super interesting for me to hear how much people responded to Alissa and tried to push back about the percentage of nondrivers. I get the sense that a lot of people in the transportation space won't engage with me because they think that high a percentage of nondrivers can't possibly be real.
Reflections on last week's #WeekWithoutDriving in a city that still refuses to acknowledge the existence of its nondrivers — which a comprehensive new report claims make up one-third of LA's population
One-third of Angelenos do not drive
Walking back the "car-free" games promise is unconscionable in a city where the people who don't drive are also the most vulnerable users of our streets
