2026 can be the year you resolve to drive less. Bike, walk, roll, use public transit. Invite others to join you.
Even just replacing some trips can have huge impacts!

There seems to be some disagreement about whether there are *some* people who are a legitimate target of government violence.
No I said don’t tread on *me*. You can get treaded on.

4.7 billion hours is apparently ~536,530 years lost to congestion
According to NHTSA data, in 2022 motor vehicle crashes led to 1,522,463 years of lost life for all ages
3x the lost time due to lives cut short than to people sitting in traffic
This is why we need to prioritize #SafetyOverSpeed
