I got the results from CMAP's 2026 Regional Transportation Plan and made a dashboard for you to explore the data yourself. Overall, good job folks.
I added demographic filters, but I only know so much HTML/Java so you'll have to do the correlations yourself. nikhunder.github.io/CMAP-Regiona...

Drawing insanity this morning—need to shift west for a more even spiral. I did one of these from memory last night and it was one of the better rides I've done recently. Would actually recommend doing this with no plan

That's what the ops tell me. They're just not a great place to work for. Until they change culture, were stuck with this.

It felt like it took years to get coffee shops to have better non-chai teas. Maybe by 2030 this problem won't exist

Long-standing union knowledge that if they band together and coordinate call-offs, they can't all be penalized. They do this when they're mad at management. 10-13 will call off at a garage/terminal for the day
